That's how DD's league is. We don't actually lose that many kids to other sports, and the ones we do are usually not the best players in the league. But fall is when kids move up to the next age group, so each age group sees an influx of kids who need time getting used to playing in a higher division. Plus, our fall ball always gets a bunch of girls who are new to softball. By the halfway point of the season it's always better.
Awesome. I think it's the influx of 6U graduates. According to our league, this is a record amount of fall ball players for them. So that's good. And, again, I didn't see three of the four evals. We'll see how it goes. Good time for Ellie to hone her skills, get the reps/dirt time she needs and get some experience being a leader on a team.
