My time is valuable. I place the importance on school work. More scholarships given for academics than sports. I've been asked to go 45-50 minutes away. The other program is built toward getting a "scholarship" but I want DD getting academics first. That's almost 2 hrs of study time plus DD loves where she's at! People need to find what works best for them. Disrupting your life for softball is crazy to me.

The kids on our team who have long commutes use the time for homework and study sessions. It has actually improved their grades, which we check frequently.

We disrupt our life for softball all the time. lol
She can't study in the car? I don't think travel time is poorly spent. She's either studying, talking with me, or relaxing. All three are important. Travel is worse on me than her as far as the value of time spent because all I get is fellowship. I can't read or cut the grass along the way.

I couldn't have studied in the car, if it were me. I've always been prone to car sickness.
DD is the same. I wonder if that needs to be a factor in how far you travel for practice.
