[quote=Anonymous]My experience is with club baseball but from what I hear softball is not particularly different in this way:

I’d definitely join local softball FB page (opportunities will often be posted as they come up). I’ve even seen parents inquire “any teams still looking for a 12u player for fall?” and getting bites.

Spots often open up as teams shift around. Also, a player can sometimes be added onto a smaller roster if they are the right fit or if they ask at the right time.

Definitely touch base with any other softball parents you personally know, and get the word out that DD is looking for a team.

If there are clubs she is interested in, it doesn’t hurt at all to email/message, explain she missed tryouts but is looking for a team and would be interested in trying out if any spots open up.

My club baseball son ended up without a team late this summer after all tryouts had concluded (his team from last year blew up- nothing to do with son/us). We did all of the above and ended up finding him a team (ended up quickly getting him a tryout/offer with a team that happened to have a kid leave last minute). Also got 2 calls for a tryout in the upcoming weeks from other teams in same situation (and declined of course).
