So why do many of our top girls leave Ohio Softball to pursue their dreams elsewhere. There is an obvious gap. Is anyone working to fill it. I think a previous thread last winter talked about Elite Training / Program being a void because of the lack of Elite Opportunities that come to Ohio girls.
As much as people want to say Lasers is that resource....
I would say the fact that 7 of Ohio's best softball players leaving to play for a team in another state is an indictment on how POOR our 16-18u programs are at providing high level training, playing highly competitive schedules, and lacking the relationships with major D1 colleges that in one year 7 of our best kids skip town cause Ohio can't deliver to their needs.
And this is not to rip Ohio Fast Pitch as 90% of it is great, but that 10% I'm pointing out is obviously needing some development.
