I started coaching rec ball when DD was 3 YO although she didn't start playing until the age of 5. That was 18 years ago.
I continued coaching her and her teams through the 18U showcase TB level. Now she's off and playing in college for several years now.
Since then, for the past 3 years, I have taken a new 12U TB team. After this year, I will be taking my current 12U team and begin moving through the age groups again.
