Those of you who have daughters that pitch, how do you balance pitching time with other activities? My dd is playing 12u, she loves other sports too. With practice, homework, and some social time with friends, how do you manage time to throw? We try, but honestly sometimes she just doesn't want to do it, how much should the coaches expect their pitchers to throw during the week, does it change with age, does it matter if they are a number 1,2,or 3? She loves pitching and loves softball and understands the commitment it takes to be a pitcher and we do as well, but she also loves other sports and being a kid. A lot of coaches want kids to participate in other sports and we'll rounded athletes, do they want that for their pitchers as we'll? I'm not sure girls should be expected to make a choice on sports this early?
Also, If your daughter doesn't really want to throw, how much do they get out of that particular session?
