[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vienna has rec teams for high schoolers. So does ALexandria (I know bc we just played a Fort Hunt team).  [b]If she is athletic she may be able to make JV at her high school, depending which high school it is.[/quote]

Make JV softball as a neophyte 10th-grader? What is wrong with you? Why would you give this family false hope?

It's insulting to those of us whose kids have spent years playing on travel teams to think that somebody "athletic" can walk onto the field and make a team. That's ludicrous.

If the kid wanted to play softball in high school, she should have thought of that back in kindergarten and first grade. And OP's PARENTS should have pushed their kid rather than let her dabble and "find herself".

If your kid can't make a travel team in just one sport by 6th grade, something's seriously wrong with you as a parent. ANY KID except the most clumsy ones can make a travel team in something as long as they and their parents work at it and commit to it. You have to look side-eyed at parents who talk up their kids' activities in D&D or Scouts or something as if that's a replacement for the competition and the friendships you get playing travel.

I feel really badly for OP's kid, to have OP and her husband raising that kid without instilling a drive to compete.[/quote]

Hilarious! 🤣 [/q
***standing ovation*** I love it when people use satire to point out how absurd something is----in this case the idea that kids have to pick their sport by age 6 to excel.  Bravo!!! [/quote]
