[quote=Anonymous]We played one season of low level travel, and just FYI there was still "daddy ball" going on. We had a girl who was working hard, taking lessons, and a few times got put in as a "closer". She never, ever started or was 2nd pitcher. The coach's daughter was the weakest pitcher of the 3, and almost always was lead pitcher. It was kind of annoying, even with my daughter not a pitcher, because she definitely walked a lot of batters and we lost games because of it.

This year in rec ball, my husband is coaching and my daughter hardly ever pitches (though she can). She does, however, play a lot of 1st base and catcher, and has gotten a lot better with more time with the ball. She hardly ever got to touch the ball in travel as one of the weakest players on the team. In rec she shines and can hit the ball to the outfield (was scared stiff in travel with girls throwing 40+mph in 10U). She does get frustrated with beginner players at times, but I suspect that is how the travel team felt about her last year!

So there are tradeoffs. You can always request a different team next year in rec if you want to stay in rec.[/quote]
