[quote=Anonymous]Rec softball at 10U is a really tough age pitching-wise, largely because most of the pitching is really awful, and so games become walkathons. In fact many leagues make rule changes to either go to coach pitch after a certain number of walks just to keep things moving (and to require runs be scored on a batted ball rather than a walk).

So, if this team has two girls who can pitch well enough to get it over the plate and if they are just better than your daughter, it will be difficult for her. The best thing she can do is spend time pitching on her own -- the best pitchers go out with a tarp and a bucket of balls every day and throw 100 balls.

It's rec, yes, and every player should get every time. But pitching and catching really are skill positions. If you get players in those who really aren't good enough, it can drag the entire game down, and that hurts everyone. It's not about winning, it's about keeping players engaged enough that they keep coming back instead of moving to another sport. [/quote]
