"She is a freshman and will definitely make the Varsity. I am not even sure there will be enough girls to make a JV. And the talent is pretty weak. But she loves the girls and knows over half the team from playing with them on school teams and such. We have no pitching....like literally no pitchers and she knows the team will be weak. But she just loves playing and figures they will get better and win some games.
I am probably the bigger problem. I have grown accustom to watching very good travel ball. And I am not sure I will be able to withstand 4-5 errors a game and multiple walks.....there I go again being a snob......I am just bummed because it may be a 4 year pull of bad teams. But the school is great and my kids love it there. It just has a really poor softball team. Good coach just not enough talent. And they play in a good league so at least my DD will see good pitching."

- the key in developing a very good HS program is to start it in the pee wee program and keep as many of them together as long you can. Our HS program has always been fairly strong, but it went thru the roof (state final appearance) last year with the first group of girls (juniors) who were brought thru from pee wees and stayed and played together. More than half travel ball players also but most also played rec together thru 8th grade and built that bond that now exist at the HS level. The classes below them have followed that same pattern and the future is very bright down thru the ranks. Keystone, Poland and Strasburg are a few others that I know do this.
