I think we are missing another key ingreedient...$$$

I would lump $$$ under parental support. It's very difficult for an athlete to even get started, let alone progress, without the support of their parent(s).

Absolutely!! I have seen hundreds of young girls who could be awesome in travel ball but their parents aren't interested in committing that much time. Parental support is pivotal.

Amen to the parental support of time and $$$. DD is practicing 6 days/week, twice on Saturday and sometimes twice on Sunday. 4 days are school so bucket Dad doesn't have to be there to catch but he does drive her; 2-3 days are pitching lessons and practice;
1 day for summer travel team. WOW!
