I'm glad I wasn't there.Even though she was pitching against girls who were as much as 3 years older, she did well. Word got around, and the parents of the other teams started attacking her. They booed and cat called, applauded balls and walks like a player had hit a grand slam. Even some of the opposing coaches were involved in it. It wasn't about playing the game, it became all about beating her.
But would you believe that some parents are actually grumbling because our DD is going to be playing up a division starting this fall, because all the 8u coaches want the opportunity to get her on their teams in the spring?
It isn't fair to her - or to the other players - when she's so much more experienced than they are. There's no 8u travel team (or all-stars) in our area, so moving to 10u is the only option.
