[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did your DD just start with rec? Lots of programs around here have a summer all-star rec league you can try out for (in May/June).  That's travel lite and a great chance to see if they like playing on most days, if they like tournaments, etc.  If they want to pitch, private lessons are a must: they will not get enough from youtube.  Private hitting lessons would also be a good idea before tryouts.  And start watching college ball: it's not impossible to start softball later (mine started at the end of 5th grade and now plays travel) but it takes a long time to gain softball IQ.
  
All that said: it's a long way from a few practices to high school ball.  My kid plays 4-5 days a week and would play all 7 if she could.  But she has friends who dropped out after realizing they wanted to do other things. Encourage the love of the game but take it a season at a time.

Good luck!

Where are you located? In Fairfax County it's fairly few (I know of 2) leagues with open enrollment or tryouts for summer travel-lite. The rest roll their all-stars from late spring forward into summer competition.[/quote]
