I try not to be a softball snob but have kind of become one. The level of play is just really low. I certainly want the rec league to continue and prosper. Spring should have more girls -- in fall many do cheer or lacrosse.
With Anna off as a college freshman I planned ahead..........contacted the director of our city rec league and he promised me a 12U team for the Fall. After years of travel, I'm done with that! So I stayed in contact with the director and everything is still a go......except there's no girls, as in none!! Of the 3 surrounding towns that are in this league, they fielded three 10U teams......3......that's it! one 10U team for each town!
Back when Anna was 10 and played church and rec ball you had better get your team signed up early because they would have to cut it off because of so many teams!
This director told me Fall volleyball was killing softball and that today's powder puff kids didn't want to be outside or get dirty anymore! And he blamed it on this new generation of parents......I have to agree with him!
I was pretty disappointed, I was looking forward to it all Summer long!
