[quote=Anonymous]DD 9 is playing 10U softball. She played 2 seasons in a different league in 8U. The first season was excellent, with good instruction. Second season, not so much--didn't learn anything, didn't improve. This fall we tried a new league. While we think the league overall is more organized and more robust, the coach is completely inexperienced although a really nice guy/dad. For example, he does not come with a plan for practice.  We have also tried going to the free pitching clinics by the league but that also seems to be limited in actual instruction and consists of just hurling the ball into the fence 200 times, not at the actual pitching distance.  My daughter has improved with her fielding and pitching purely by us going in the backyard and working at home, not at practice. Which leads me to my actual question: does doing "travel" usually get you better, more experienced instruction? I don't have a clue what a 10U travel softball skill level looks like and if my daughter would fit in with that. I suspect she is slightly below that, but I almost feel like it will be hard to improve much staying in rec ball, and it seems that it is a conundrum. Am I missing something here? [/quote]
