Advice needed for getting my baseball obsessed 7yo daughter to even entertain the thought of making the switch to fastpitch
See, here in lies my dilemma. She'll make statements like, "I'm gonna play for the Braves..." etc and my momma heart wants to tell her to chase her dreams and she can do anything she puts her mind to. But the realist in me wants to prepare her for the fact that society isn't ready for nor...- BallparkMomma

Advice needed for getting my baseball obsessed 7yo daughter to even entertain the thought of making the switch to fastpitch
I have actually considered letting her play both. I haven't found a softball team around us but I know they're here. We're not super familiar with the area as we moved a couple towns over a few years ago so still building those connections. I think that would be the best way to go when she wants...- BallparkMomma

Ya know, I haven't even thought about that aspect of it all. I'm sure the boy talk will run her off sooner or later 😂- BallparkMomma

Hey, thanks for having me
Well I don't coach. Lol. But love the game. My DD is young and really into baseball but I'm trying to expose her to more softball. She and I have started watching the girls collegiate games and we really enjoy it. I think it's helping her not to blindly think softball is too "girly". I said...- BallparkMomma

Advice needed for getting my baseball obsessed 7yo daughter to even entertain the thought of making the switch to fastpitch
Thank you all for your input! I am not at all opposed to letting her find her own way. I was just wondering from the softball side of things if any of you had any advice or opinions. We live in the metro Atlanta area and baseball is LIFE down here. She loves bb, I actually had to put a parental...- BallparkMomma

Advice needed for getting my baseball obsessed 7yo daughter to even entertain the thought of making the switch to fastpitch
That's awesome!! I tell her that there are girls succeeding in baseball. I'm just afraid that strictly based on availability her opportunities will be vastly limited in that arena. But I'm also unbelievably proud of her. She definitely forges her path and dances to her own drum :ROFLMAO:- BallparkMomma

Advice needed for getting my baseball obsessed 7yo daughter to even entertain the thought of making the switch to fastpitch
So, I'm having a hard time getting my dd to even consider the fact that she'll need to make the switch at some point (I'd think the sooner the better) from baseball to softball. She LOVES baseball and has been playing on an 8U travel team for a little over a year. She loves it but as she gets...- BallparkMomma

Hey, thanks for having me
Hey everyone. Thanks for having me! I'm pretty much a newbie to the world of serious softball. I played a bit when I was younger but it wasn't taken very seriously by anyone including players and coaches alike. I don't remember focusing much on fundamentals and mechanics other than really entry...- BallparkMomma
