I just found this forum and I must say there is a wealth of info here, great forum. I hope you all can help me out. I have 13 y/o aspiring pitcher. Our local youth program leaves much to be desired, it is a small league (I live in a rural area) but there is some good talent. One of the biggest problems I have is it is a coach pitched league, all of the coaches are parents. Also, in my opinion the level of competition is not very high. Most of the coaches seem to have the attitude that softball is just something for the girls to do in the spring, instead of being interested in devolping athletes. Our varisty coach has offered to help any coach by letting them observe her practices or giving pointers.
If it sounds like Im on a rant I apologize, I am just very frustrated. I know we have a young league (it is only about 5 years old) but I just feel some girls are not getting the opportunity they deserve.
I was thinking about putting together a travel team, but I must confess I dont even know where to start. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks so much, I would appreciate any input you may have.
