My DD plays on a 10U team. They are a pretty young 10 having only 5 10yo players, all the others are either 9 or 8. Of those 5 she is the #1 pitcher and #1 or 2 infielder. The team also doesn't have anyone that can or wants to catch. So you have guessed it, now they want my daughter to catch also. I told them its fine as long as its only one game per day at tournaments. Also asked that she wouldn't catch the game before they wanted her to pitch. This morning, the more i think about it the more i wish i would have said no. I would like to know what you all think, when she the needs for my DD come before the needs of the team? I just don't want to see her take a foul tip or get run over and get hurt. Also don't want to wear her legs out.
I realize its just 10U and most good pitchers are going to be your best all around players usually, but i don't want to see her catching at all when she gets older. I'm not sure if i have seen a pitch doing any catching at 14U. Where do other teams have their pitchers play when they aren't pitching?
thanks
