I will add that taking our dd to a rec/travel tourney opened our eyes to the world outside of rec. That got us interested in travel ball. That is why we are trying to field a 12U team right now.
Being involved in those tourneys made us realize that being the best pitcher in rec did nothing to challenge the player to be better. I think it is a good mix. I think that if you don't show the girls whats out there, they dont strive to be better!
I will never complain about strong competition. I think it is good to get beat a good one every once and a while to give the girls a reason to try harder to be better.
