Thx!! This is some insightful feedback. I will make updates as we navigate this stage.
I wouldn’t say players get recognized at show case tournaments but if you are on a coaches radar you get evaluated. The school dd is going to attended over 50% of her games. She generally attended 2 camps a year there from the time she was in 7th grade.

They want to make sure she is on track and progressing or they had no one else to look at during that time at those fields. Coaches also split up too.Why do you think they felt the need to see so many of her games?
From most families I've talked to, a camp or two and a Sparkler or two and they get the offer.

Have you posted on Facebook groups that you are looking for a team? Im a member of groups in most of those states and they have tons of members. I know Georgia Fastpitch has a few as does the NC and TN pages.Hi, looking to get some thoughts about dealing with coaches. My DD 2026 is switching team. Her current team does not play any tournaments that any of the schools she is interested in attends. Her social media has multiple highlights ( defense and hitting) of her play over the past year from travel, school and P5 camps. As we have been reaching out to travel coaches, she has sent messages to coaches via social media and I have emailed others and the response is pretty bad. Even coaches that say they are looking for a player, MAY respond and then ask the basic questions and then nothing. For example, when they ask: tell me about your DD. We provide birth year/grad year, her fielding positions, P5 camps attended in the last few months, type of hitter and speedy. Her social media is followed by multiple coaches some of the P5 schools and smaller d3 in the area and a bunch of travel organizations coaches. Wondering if we are providing too much info or too little, or if they are just plain weird.

The college is doing thorough due diligence figuring out their decision.Why do you think they felt the need to see so many of her games?
Mehhh not so much. Not saying that won't happen however that is kind of too simple so I'm chiming in.From most families I've talked to, a camp or two and a Sparkler or two and they get the offer.
