[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's no point for C level kids to be on a travel team. It's just a money grab. C level kids should be playing rec. I personally would not waste money on private lessons for a C level 13 year old. [/quote]

Y'all need to stop denigrating C level teams.  Yes, some may be glorified rec teams.  Most are not.  There are unlikely to be new players on a travel team; most of the girls will have played for years.  They'll make most catches, they'll know how to bunt and where they're supposed to be on the field based on game play.  Some, like DDs team last year, are playing C because they lack any good pitchers and it's really hard to win at B without at least one good pitcher.  Some are outstanding teams ([b]I have no idea how some of the teams at the East Coast C Championships could be classified as C teams.[/b])  It is absolutely worth taking private lessons if you want to improve at that level.

I think they all got bumped up to B by their local directors for 24-25.

I say that bc I'm a parent of one of the players on that team.  They were C bc they were essentially a brand new team; 10 of the 12 years had only played rec before the year.  But they wanted to improve.  They put in the work all fall & winter and it paid off with a great finish to the season, and then they were (rightly) bumped up to B for their second year of 12U.

Which is 100% the point of C level softball.  The person denigrating C level is an idiot.  That story would have never happened if those girls had stayed in Rec or been forced to play B before they were ready.  [/quote]
