Hello all! 3rd season head coach with all experience being in Rec ball. I have found an organization that has been specializing in Travel Baseball for the last 14 years that is wanting to broaden their outreach to girls through softball. I have been actively talking with the owner of the organization and am looking to start up a 10U program and hopefully help develop out the softball side of the house.
What I am looking to hopefully get from this is some advice on recruitment and getting players in. I am not expecting to find AAA players or anything of the sorts, I am just trying to find the best way to get some interest going. In my own searches looking for a 10U team most all of them are at least an hour away. There is 1 10U team that I know if in the area currently which the way they carry rosters in Softball that would leave a lot of girls out.
I am currently hitting up the facebook groups with my flyer and have a google signup sheet that has gotten 0 traffic. There are about 3 girls that I want to talk to in my rec organization that are definitely ready to make the step from rec to travel/tournament ball.
How do I position a team that I see as being developmental and ranked BB/B in TopGun to prospective parents? I have a vision of how I want to run the program but I feel like people don't care much for long winded explanations (like this one). Hoping to get some insight from the other coaches out there living it.
Thanks!
