    How good for Division III?

    What does DD when not playing HS? What level travel? Also thinking along lines of Williams, Amberst, Tufts, etc. Do you have to be A TB?

    How good for Division III?

    My DD is not a great softball player but has untapped potential, enjoys the game, and tends to stick things out longer than others. More marathon than sprint. Her academics are extremely strong -- top of class, top 1% nation standardized testing, etc. I think she could possibly be a National...

    Novice stats question

    Thanks! If her confidence doesn't get shot, think she will keep trying.

    Novice stats question

    How many PAs or ABs until you really have a good sample? This is a summer team. 4 tournaments. 16 games. Feel like sample is still small but probably about right, nonetheless.

    Novice stats question

    No, just want to make sure she is not in over her head and/or dragging the team down.

    Novice stats question

    A little bit of all. Pops to the infield and outfield. Ground balls to the infield. However, when she does hit it well, it a powerful hit. Not only is it strong but it is fast. I see some of the bigger girls with big hits but there is almost a slowness to the ball. She has a real strong and...

    Novice stats question

    Thanks. I am looking at the times she actually walks up to the plate and divide by number of strikeouts. Figure the other times she is either getting a walk or getting the ball in play. There is another player, for example, that has a higher percent of strikeouts, hasn't walked and has no...

    Novice stats question

    My DD is playing on a new team and is worst in the stats. We publish iScore for parents only. She clearly has the worst batting average and on-base percent. However, I don't feel she is as bad as her stats show. She and three other team members share highest number of strikeouts, one with...

    Age Requirements for Softball Associations

    That's what we are trying to figure out. Seems like she has fun batting the ball around in rec league and gets certain confidence from being decent at 12u. So, if she is not performing at 14u All Star, looking a bit spacey out there, etc. Do we just call it a day with this team, perhaps for...

    Here's the tricky part. She doesn't have a huge interest in practicing at home. We ask. She's says tired, no. Etc. We ask her if her practices are fun. Says yes, gets out of bed no problem for the 9:00 Saturday practice…not easy for a teenager in school. Doing 6 hours of practice a week...

    Worst kid on tem

    We are doing 2-3 team practices/week and weekend tournaments, so for now, for her, that is enough. Her bat is good and I think her glove fits her. We were thinking about giving her some lessons this winter and maybe then, we could get better feedback on equipment, etc.

    Worst kid on tem

    I think she was a strong 12u player and now playing 14u all stars, so she is struggling. If this was a 12u team and she suddenly tanked, think perhaps. I see your point, though. We don't say much to her. Certainly don't put her down and just make sure she is having fun. I think she always...

    Worst kid on tem

    I think she knows she is worst on team but probably not realizing the impact. She is mostly there but think getting a bit discouraged. She feels a little lost. She played 12u but bc of age has to play 14u summer team. Changed her swing, position, etc. so a bit hard. She doesn't have any...

    Worst kid on tem

    My DD is the worst kid on her rec league 14u summer travel team. To the point where she could even be causing some losses. She is not getting on base. Errors in the field when ball comes to her. We have a handful of tournaments left. The coach hasn't said anything but I feel bad for the...

    Age Requirements for Softball Associations

    We are running into the age problem. My daughter played 12u softball this spring (league lets fall play with their grade) and made the summer All Star team. But, she has a December bday so she has to play 14u and we play many 15u teams. She was one of the better 12u players but is really...
