Momto77, I have 5 9 year olds on my team incuding my own DD. While some of them have adjusted to the speed of the game faster than others there is no doubt they will be stonger players as 10 year olds than if they had stayed in the local rec program. The coaching they have received from our coaching staff since last fall is already showing after 1 tourney. The other thing they really like is playing with other kids who can actually play softball rather than only having a few kids on the team who can and the rest just trying to figure out what to do. It is a little late to find a team but if you can jump in there with her.
