My DD has just made the freshman softball team as a 7th grader. She has never worn metal cleats but most of the girls on the team are. She is still hesitant with sliding so we are not sure about going to metal. A little more info on her, she is 12 (13 in two months) 5'7" and 160 lbs. She has played in molded since she was 5 and is not known for speed or sliding but is a powerful hitter. Any advice on cleat issue would be welcome.
