Seeking advice....
DD is a freshman considering taking off her sophomore year in high school ball. The reason is the varsity the team will be stacked with seniors and she doesn't want to spend another year at JV. She was named the No. 2 catcher but No. 1 goes no where next season. She feels that spending another year at JV will negatively effect her game because of slow play and lack of game intensity. I certainly can understand where she's coming from and you could see the game speed/intensity issue when she practiced with her 18U travel team for the first time this weekend. She slowly recovered but it was evident.
My question is.... How much could it effect the way college recruiters view an athlete if they choose to take their sophomore year off?
