[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a so-so pitcher, I would personally not go down this road. [b]It’s expensive and time-consuming.[/b] We’d be much better off just letting her be a regularly fielder, but we had no idea when she first started pitching. [/quote]

Voice of reason. And 12 is so young to be locked into a very narrow athletic path. This child might not even want to play softball in HS, or may not ever reach the level needed to get a good scholarship (i.e., not for some DIII school you've never heard of.) Wait a few years to see if your child naturally wants to drop other activities and focus on softball.[/quote]

While an athletic girl CAN pick up pitching at 14, if a child loves it and is willing to put in the 3-4 nights a week outside of softball practice to practice (because otherwise lessons are pointless), why not? My kids take lessons and while the oldest does play school ball, nobody in our house is going to play in college.

Pitching lessons also don't have to be that expensive. My kids' pitching lessons for years were with a college student and a lot cheaper than their music lessons.[/quote]
