[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] At least in my area, kids who need an activity seems to be the majority of my nine year old's softball team. Most of the super competitive girls are still in baseball, and there aren't that many of those. Maybe soccer is sucking up a lot of the headspace? Anyway, there's a lot of team spirit, and a lot of sideline cheering. A really big advantage is that there are lots of rec softball leagues at older ages -- this is something that can be done as a kid and then picked up again much later in life. [/quote]
