I did not know where to post this for sure, because it is about preparing young girls for softball careers. As discussed on the All-Star California thread, it does appear that NOT all parts of the country have boot-camp length practices for 6-8 year olds, 2-3x times a week, with individual coaches (2 for each player) on the side for private lessons. I can only think this is happening to prepare the players for college. (When do the parents have time to work to pay for this softball stuff I asked?)
I can't say that this is not happening elsewhere, but it seems that it shocked many posters.
Here is a link, for example, to the Alabama softball team:
ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE - University of Alabama Official Athletic Site - Softball
(And our thoughts to students, team members and the community who have been devastated by tornadoes.)
The California dominance is waning, so the proof is in the pudding not to be offensive to anyone, just that the other areas are producing top-notch players. Thoughts?
