What do you look for to try and decide if your DD is ready to try and move from rec to travel?
My DD started taking hitting lessons this year (her hitting coach also does travel ball teams) and has been hitting really well in her rec league. She has always been good fielding and throwing.
I have talked to her about it and she says she wants to play with the "better teams" (that's how she refers to travel), but she also says she will be sad to leave her friends (her best friend is on her team now). A couple of the girls she played with last year started travel ball this year and she misses playng with them as well.
She loves to play softball, and I think she is good enough to make a team (not be a star or anything but make a roster.) Although I worry as right now she is on top and I know transitioning at first she won't get near as much field time of even hitting time I would guess.
So what do/did you look for to know when it was time?
