I live in NE Texas. In my area the only middle school programs I know of are in private schools. My DD is only 12, but from what I have seen and heard, high school ball coaching is very questionable in our area. It is largely viewed as glorified rec ball. Anybody that is serious about playing at the next level or getting a scholarship needs to get on a good travel team. School ball is played in the spring. Rec ball is the main thing in our area, ASA or TTAS (Texas TeenAge Softball). There are a few travel teams, but they are all independent and typically travel the 2 hours to Dallas for tournaments. There are actually quite a few girls who play for Dallas area travel teams and just commute back and forth for practices.
