When I read the title of this post "too early to worry". Then I read the first.sentence." My DD is 8 U". I stopped and said, yes.it is way too early to worry. We've all been thwre. When we first started out we.we're all thinking our kid is gonna be a D1 full ride, so we went a bit crazy analyzing everything. By the time DD got to 18u, I was basically sleeping in my chair i was so relaxed, and no, she not playing in college, but she had fun playing.
I still see it as an umpire. When I do 10u or 12u games, parents go crazy every close call. At 18u games, no problems from parents since they seem it all.
