That is exactly what it is about. Sure it is fun or the girls would not be there, but the end goal is to prepare the girls for something beyond softball. Look at the statistics on the kids playing sports at a high level. A disproportionate amount of them are leaders...are you saying that is a coincidence? The end goal, Disagree. How many of the girls that played travel ball this past summer are ever going to ever play at a high level?
So are you saying there is no emphasis on improving, winning? That isn't travel ball and that is fine, but I believe this thread is about emphasis on grades for travel ball and showcase teams. Where did I say no emphasis on improving, winning? That is part of the fun and it is travel ball. Poster never said "showcase". You are not reading what is written.
huh? seriously? talk about PC :lmao: What is PC about that?
Nothing in travel ball is mandatory, don't like it, play somewhere else. So you think a girl on the team in question should discuss her grades or leave the team? Nice why to treat a kid.
I don't think anyone was talking about specific circumstances for the bad grades other than not being able to play in college, the non-scholarship schools emphasize grades above all else if you have talked to those teams' coaches. Above all else, really?
The girl won't get recruited if she can't achieve academically, that is just a fact. Is "achieve" a C average or a B average or better?
Anyone have an idea on what percentage of girls playing travel ball will get a scholarship to play?
