Like many of the other High Schools, my DD's HS tryouts were held Mon-Wed this week. My DD was invited by the HC to tryout with the Varsity team instead of the Freshman and JV team. We received word today from the HC that my DD has made the Varsity team. She is just 15 and a Freshman. The Varsity team has 8 seniors on the team and will run a 14 person squad that includes 4 pitchers that includes my DD. I was told that my DD is pitcher #3 and should receive decent amount of playing time. By playing with the Varsity team she will be surrounded by quality players and coaches that will only help her be a better player.
She has spent the last 4 months practicing by going to 3 batting sessions, 2 team practices (1 16u team & 1 18u team), 3 pitching sessions (2 practices & 1 lesson) and 3 strength/conditioning sessions per week. She has totally dedicated her entire fall/winter towards becoming a better player.
After the death of her grandfather (my dad) 2 weeks ago she has had tons on her mind, but was so dedicated for her tryouts with a heavy heart. Finally after a very rough 3 weeks, she has brought a huge smile to my face. I know my dad would be so proud of her as much as I am right now.
