Due to certain obligations, my family will be moving to Japan for a few years. Being that my daughter seeks to continue playing softball, is there any direction someone could point me in when it comes to finding a place to play in Japan? We have looked at a few options but right now being that she is moving up into middle school, the local middle school does not have a team (only the high school). I would like to not have to put her in rec, as her skill level is a bit above that level, and would like to seek out something more challenging for her than playing only 3 months out of the year. Any advice is helpful.

I think a lot of the youth sports in Japan revolve around the schools. Or that is how it was 20+ years ago when my DW taught English there.
She will be attending middle school on the military base. So I’m hoping to find something outside of that, but unfortunately only the military high school offers softball, not the middle school.
That is what I am wonder. At the very least if she could practice with them. St least she would be able to learn some things. She is a very good ball player, and like any 10/12U still needs some development in some areas
