Overwhelming few months

[quandofloo]

I've been gone for a few months because life has been nuts. I've gone through a layoff, job search, accepted a position 800 miles away in Central Florida, moved down here a month before my whole family and finally got the wife and kids here last week. I have technically been working for almost a month now but sometimes government paperwork takes a while to clear so I am officially getting into the new gig tomorrow hopefully.

My DD is going to go to a practice with a 12U team down here Tuesday but if anyone knows of good hitting/fielding coaches and good travel organizations in the Melbourne, FL/Space Coast area I would really appreciate some help finding some good facilities. Any good Florida specific websites would be helpful too.

The above link should get you started. Obviously, checkn out the east central section. Also, look up 12u player search on fb.

Good luck and as the previous poster noted, it's not Alaska and I'll add, New England.

...and at least your kids won't grow up to be jets or yankee fans. That would just be awful.

We moved to another state when DD was 12, and softball really eased the transition for her. She did NOT want to move. Until that point, she didn't really love softball, just liked it. She always played for teams that I coached, so never experienced the process of trying out. The fact that some coaches and teams in her new state wanted her really made her feel good at a time when was a stranger in a new place with no friends yet.

I like New England in the summer. One of my favorite tournament is NE's Finest but during spring when Softball is supposed to start they are usually still snowed in or their fields are mud pits from the melted snow.

NE is an acquired taste for most people. I worked in NE for a few years. I hated it at first, but after about three years, I finally understood the mindset. I enjoyed it.
