Great insight and Info here. We are not ready for a National level team now, so no that is not what we are looking for. It is impossible for me to know if my daughter will play at that level right now or if she wants to for that matter.
What I do know is she is very talented and athletic and...
I have watched quite a few of the pgf premier championhips. Some good softball being played for sure at the younger age groups. Also mistakes I see often at local tournaments.
RADcatcher.. you make a good point with folks making decisions without knowing what the choices look like...
We...
We are not considering this at 12u by no means. We are happy with her team. I ha e just been pondering these questions latley and just curious. As alot have said you will know when the time comes.
I am noy 1 bit ashamed to say I want to see my DD play at UofF one day. I also am very aware...
Alot of good info. DD has played 10U for 3 yrs. She has alot of fun and I am always curious how these high level teams construct their teams and how they practice/ ???? to stay competitive.
Yall know..........us 10u parents are ready for our DD to start showcase tournaments TODAY!!!
Well.... I dont even know. I just have in mind, a team that is consistently playing high level competition and can go to some of these big national tournaments and compete.
A respectable team that is not focusing on dominating the local travel schedule scene
My DD is going to be first year 12u this fall and into next spring. My question is for those that have joined top level national teams that are not local to you,
How did you realize it was time to tryout for one?
How do attending practices work if your several hrs away from this team?
How...
Just wanted to say thanks to Core softball. New bat came in today for dd. She is 9 has pro ably hit 3 or 4 buckets of balls into the net. Pouring the rain herw in ENC. I can her the crack of the bat as I type this.
Cant tell but I think it will be a big difference from her CF Zen. Thanks...
She isn't outgrowing the team for now. I could see it possubly happening in the future though. On the other hand I wonder if we should seek a true 8U, 2010 team so she is with her age group at this young age.
I guess since I asked I can answer as well. My DD is 8 on a 10U team because it is close and was originally going to be 1 tournament a month. That has turned into 2 or close to it anyway. They are a B team but The more I read here the more I am pretty sure we are a C team. This is their...
What distances are folks traveling to their TB team practices. I know in some parts of the country TB is huge and you don't have to go to far. Here in eastern NC it seem you could travel a long way (1-2 hrs)for certain age groups or better teams to fit your daughters skill or development.
My...
Wow..... I just read through all 9 pages of this thread. Gotta commend you on striking a nerve with these folks. My DD and I are new to the travel game she 8 on a 10U team. Didn't play college anything but I was in the NFL with the Cowboys for 5 years ..........................
Do you...
She currently has a decent LS lower end composite bat. It is a -13 I believe. I am looking at the CF bats now pretty hard because I am reading how balanced they are. Definatley going to be a -11. I dont think she can handle a -10. She makes good contact and hits the ball well just think a...
