DD was temporarily team less this fall. Didn't want to play TB and our rec league pulled some shenanigans that prevented all the 2002's from playing up to 12U this fall. We found a team in the neighboring community of Temecula (a serious hotbed of softball talent and far more competitive than our little country league). DD has rocked the practices so far and looks to be one of the better players with a team filled with girls a year older. The first game is Saturday. My whole thing about not wanting her to play a 5th season of 10U was that she would not be challenged and would just mail it in. The minute she saw girls that looked like they might be better than her- her swings got faster, the footwork improved and the throws got hard. I caught her eyeballing one of the pitchers as they warmed up and I could read her mind.... looks like she has some competitive fire after all. The team is great, the girls can play and the coaches are awesome. It's going to be tough to go back to our rec league after this. all is well that ends well.
