[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who's 11 year old plays softball, it would be pretty hard for a brand new player who is not a natural athlete to start at this point. Will the rec teams let you do it - of course! but your child is going to be placed in left field an at the bottom of the batting line up, and 95% of the team will already really know how to play. Just be prepared. [/quote]

I was a natural athlete whose father signed up for fast pitch softball in 7th grade.  Not fun! I quit.

The only way to join that late is with private lessons for a few months.

Luckily I had a lot of other sports I was already doing and I didn’t mind summers off…. Then marching band and color guard was my summer sport… :) [/quote]

This is depressing.  I didn’t start softball until around 8th grade and really enjoyed playing it in high school.  I guess it was a different era back in my day and the competition is more stiff, but back in the 90s I caught up to the athletes who had already been playing…I wasn’t as good but I good enough to start.
