huh? Please show me a tournament in Ohio that classifies a competing class as "HS age". Maybe in indoor or fall ball but nothing sanctioned.
The events that are Open or HS can be held at a sanctioned park for umpires same as league play with these classifications.
The events will not be any type of qualifying event and, the games will not count towards any sanction points or standings.
These type of tournaments are generally t-shirt/trophy events with some being bash for cash, college showcase or fundraising events.
The Keith Carver Memorial in Maysville Ky and Colerain OH ran two divisions of play. One HS Division for teams 14U to 18U.
The other division was OPEN for college/ adult and select A 16/18U teams.
We would average 8/10 teams in each division but one year did get 16 in the HS Division from all over the midwest at the Maysville event.
Since it was a non sanctioned event the umpires were KHSAA and NCAA DIII umpires that donated their time for the memorial scholarship. We required proof of team Insurance for all teams 18U but did not force teams to buy any specific policies like a some sanctioned or non sanctioned tournaments do.
Down south and the more rural areas in the midwest there are a lot of tournaments set up like this.
To answer the OP question on options, Do not worry about it...Talent-Athleticism knows no age..I have seen ladies at 12 compete with 18 year olds and 10 compete with 14 year olds. My daughter was born 12/24 and the birth month never hampered her. Find a team with good coaches and a schedule you can handle and let her just play.
Nearly IMPOSSIBLE finding a YOUNG 06 team....Any suggestions?
