What too do ?????

One problem parents and girls have is getting over the "only good players play on the infield" syndrome. The more advanced the team, the more important outfielders become--because hitters are going to start smacking them into the outfield.

I can't agree more. When my daughter wasn't pitching she played 1st base. Last year's team had a long line of talented girls playing 1st base. They ended up putting her in left field. At first she was down about it, but after playing in a few games she made a few catches, backed up 3rd, threw a girl out going home. She really ended up liking outfield. You do see a lot more action in outfield at the older ages (14U and up).

hahaha I love that comment. My daughter is the catcher and beast on the field!!!! But it cracks me up when she'll pull off her helmet after an hour practice without a break and say, (in her cute little girl voice) "coach, would it be ok if I got a water break after this batter".
