I broke out into a cold sweat just reading this.
If there's enough demand for a new team in your area, you'll likely get off the ground. It's staying airborne that's the challenge. From observation and personal experience, the teams that last are the ones where the coaches bring at least some of the pitchers and catchers. That's the "sine qua non" of both baseball and softball teams. Everything else will likely fall into place if you have some "coach's kids" who are good at those positions.
Thanks, I have 2 pitchers and a catcher (my DD) that currently play with me in rec that I am testing those waters with. Traditionally our rec org has some angst towards travel due to politics between organizations. I just want the kids to play, get better, and be competitive. There is a catcher I have reached out to from another org In our rec league as well so hopefully stars will align as all 4 of the kids are leaders and would form a strong corner stone to a team. Also a huge joy to work with.
