[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]

DIII schools don't offer athletic scholarships.  Some DIII schools have excellent softball teams.

There are many high academic DIII colleges and universities. It's actually a good combination if your daughter wants to continue playing and get a quality education.  But, like so many other things in this area, parents tend to talk down about things they don't know about or understand.

Yes. There are DIII schools you'll not have heard of before.  Some of them are very good schools.  There will be DI schools you'll not have heard of too and some of them won't be very good in terms of education and/or softball.

If someone is looking for a scholarship at a school they've never heard of, it will likely be DII or maybe NAIA. Actually,  NAIA schools tend to give good scholarships.  They aren't governed by NCAA rules. However,  you likely haven't heard of them unless you have lived nearby one.[/quote]
