[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD loves her 13U team - she’s already thinking ahead to next year because she has an option to switch, but wants to stay with her team as long as it stays together. I actually thought some of the girls would have pursued other sports more seriously by now but so far most of the girls have been together since 9U. Is there a shakeout time time where they tend to leave?
And related, is there a time when pursuing a “better” team ever makes more sense if this is always going to be for fun (playing in high school vs for college). [/quote]

Never did softball because knew right away it's a joke sport for girls now--they are too good at it--and does baseball instead.[/quote]

What a strange thing to post...[/quote]

Either really bad trolling attempt or someone whose daughter does legitimately play baseball and the family has absolutely [b]no[/b] familiarity with the state of women's softball today.[/quote]

Right.  Softball opportunities.  Softball instruction.  Softball tournament organization.  All of it is light years ahead of baseball.

I say that as a parent of a 15yo DS baseball player and 13yo DD softball player[/quote]

How so? Not arguing. Just genuinely interested in learning more. [/quote]

DP but I’d say the pitching, particularly at a high level. The size of the ball does not make any aspect easier which I think is a common misconception. Base running is also harder (different rules).[/quote]
