I have several 11 YO pitching students. They are averaging 45 mph and some can't hit their spots very good. If they can't hit their spots, I feel that they need to stay in rec ball.
I tell them that softball is like piano, you either practice or you don't play. Pitching takes a good 45 minutes a day to learn. 5 days a week is the least that I tell someone to practice.
Infielders need to be able to protect themselves. If they aren't putting much effort into the game, I can't help them with the little time that I have with them at practice. I am always scared for the girls safety.
What would happen if you never mentioned softball to her again?
I do applaud you for getting her involved in something, though.
