First, I want to say how awesome and usefull this site has been. I have talked to some very classy people over the last month or so as I feel my way around the whole select/travel ball thing. You'll have to forgive me if I am still wrapping my head around all of it and I do apologize if I have missed a similar thread or post regarding my question.
As some of you know from my previous posts or direct PM's, my 10U elligible daughter will be trying out next month. An overwhelming majority of you all had one piece of advice in common: Try out for as many teams as you can.
I have her set up to try out for 5 area orgainizations that I feel comfortable with, so, thank you all for that!
Some also advised that she should start with a personal coach and I have her taking lessons from a catching instructor once a week as well as hitting. So, again, thank you!!
But this is new to me and I'm still not 100% comfortable and am horribly afraid of jumping at the first (if any) offer that she gets. (and if I've PM'd you, you are fully aware of how nervous I am about this and part of me thinks my questions are moot any way..LOL).
So my questions are this: what are the good qualities to look for when picking an organization?
And, what kind of questions do I ask at the tryouts?
I appreciate any help that can be extended or advice that can be offered.
