Finding a new team post Covid.

[JumboJack]

There was a thread a while back where this was discussed but I can't find it. My daughters team (18U) has just folded. I remember talk here about this was going to be pretty common. Another thing that was discussed was that pitchers and catcher where going to be in high demand. Boy is that true. Heybucket is not all that busy but there are some posts looking for players. Every team I inquired with regarding my daughter (a catcher) was replied to with a tryout invite. She is going to be busy this weekend. I hope this allows her to really find a good fit for her last year of TB.

Best of luck, JumboJack. Let us know how it goes.

@RADcatcher is in the Long Beach area and may have some insight for you on 18U teams if you need to bounce some teams off of someone.

Good luck to your DD in finding a great fit!

Here in NC I feel it's kinda been the opposite. The ONLY teams (mostly anyways) you see posting for players/tryouts are the super low level teams that would take any warm body.

In so cal heard of teams in all age brackets have a few 2-3-4 players for whatever reason dropping off teams, or not wanting to play just yet.

We also have sooo manyyy
Teams here...
Mixture of talent levels.
Always team opportunities.

Top tier teams are pretty solid and would probably hand pick if they needed a player.
Not so much tryouts.

Maybe the new league play has created changes or need?
I've heard some do not want to drive during the week for games....so?

The teams she will be looking at are solid clubs from medium to large organizations.

She found a great fit. Small but not too small club. She really hit it off with all the girls (they played two friendlies on Sunday). They have outstanding pitchers and she clicked with a couple. Called the game herself and they seemed to be on the same page.

Coaches are all very nice. Head coach has a good record of assisting girls in getting scholarships.
