[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.

OP here. While I can't imagine that this poster is being serious, I also know from years of another travel sport that some kids are just better than others--even precious snowflakes who've been playing much longer. Happens all the time.

In fact, I think travel sports are mostly a moneymaking scam unless you get really lucky. I'm willing to pay because I think there are other benefits for my kiddo and because I have fun watching her have fun. But I'm under no illusion that she's going to be made into a star player, whether she starts now or had started at birth. I said she's athletic, not a prodigy. My guess is neither is your kid.

Anyway, thanks so much for the good advice, everyone else. I've got several great places to start now! And to this PP, thanks for the laugh! [/quote]
