[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an 8th grader playing rec, and there are a few girls who play both rec and travel in the league. All of them get along well from my observation.

As the girls get older, the rec teams tend to be strong ime. These are girls who love softball and have stuck with it a long time. I think many would make travel but do other things as well (other sports, theatre, whatever).

Many also play rec+ games, summer leagues, etc.

This is all to say - rec at the older ages is not picking daisies in the outfield. Not as intense as travel, less consistent pitching, but lots of growth and fun.[/quote]

My DD played Rec through 8th grade (would’ve made JV at her HS but chose to focus year round on a different sport) and the quality was pretty decent actually. Many lower level travel teams played in the league (played as a team) as well, for extra reps. Pitching quality was inconsistent, yes.

I missed the age of OP’s DD (if it was stated) but my advice to OP is it all depends on your area, quality of rec league, and her intended high school.  If you are looking that far forward. Absent additional information, I’d drop to a rec league and take some private lessons (use the $ you have been spending on travel) and reevaluate in a year. [/quote]
