[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree that softball is a sport for kids who need an activity. I agree with the poster who says softball players are smart and gritty. My observation and reason for suggesting the sport is that many girls start softball relatively later (vs. kindergarten or even younger for soccer, gymnastics, dance), and there is a lot of fun/team spirit.[/quote]

Yes, there are a lot of rec softball leagues that can be good for fun, but once you get into more competitive leagues and high school, it is an insanely hard sport to play and learn.  The NCAA softball is the highest grossest woman's college sport and has the highest tv viewership for female sports, and is 3rd overall in all college sports after football and men's basketball.  The WCWS has higher ratings than most MLB games. Tune in to ESPN tomorrow night to watch them and see if those athletes are the ones that "need a sport"  Most of them were multi sport athletes playing volleyball, track, and/or basketball who chose softball to play in college.
