DADDY thinks there is too much emphisis on some of these softball kids that they feel if they are not practicing softball year around they will be a step slower than the competition in the summer. If your competing in the ASA A tournaments and your a great talent in softball and you have a legitimit shot at college money then focus on softball. But lets face it 80 percent of the kids we see in our weekend tournaments are not in line for Division 1 scholorships, DADDY hates to bring you all down to reallity. So I think that it is important to respect the wishes of a High School coach. Honestly the only reason why I believe this is even a topic is because of the belief of the summer travel team being more competitive than the average high school team.
Daddy, I have read some pretty interesting posts from you but i think you are off a little as for the reasoning behind my original question. I have gotten some great feedback and i am greatful. For one i am not worried about competing with high school and to be honest with you we as a young 14u team would give the three high schools in our county a run for their money and most likely come out on top. #2 nothing i do in the winter is mandantory.I have never wanted my girls to choose.In the summer i stress commitment.If they play AAU BB in the summer i do expect them to play with their fastpitch team if there is a conflict,but i wouldnt tell them i will cut you if you play BB.I carry enough on my roster to allow for family reunions,vacations etc. I just dont feel they should have to choose when the 3'oclock bell rings.
