Niece played on the freshman team last year but was cut this year after trying out for the JV/ Varsity Team. Not the end of the world but she is upset about it. Now she needs to wait until HS ball is over to play softball again. She is even re-thinking even playing anymore but I think she will.
I think what upset her most is she is a great outfielder, OK hitter and infielder. According to her the tryouts were focused on infield skills and hitting. She does go to a good hitting instructor but she is only an OK hitter.
HS ball matters to some players and the posts that say HS ball doesn’t matter are wrong. It might not matter to the superstars but it matters to a lot of Players.
