Thank you everyone! After the surprise of not only hitting 53 last night, but also hitting 54 several times, my DD has a renewed excitement for now. We are hoping to stick with it through 8th grade and go from there. If she wants to take a break within that time frame or changing to every other week, that is an option as well. My initial thought was should we keep paying for lessons just to play school ball, but in the end, if she continues to improve, maybe she will have an opportunity along the way to pitch for her travel team. It seams like many girls start to plateau while others continue to improve, so you never know what may happen.
