Agree - travel softball has a lot of drama, but rec and even rec+ are fantastic. Ime, most girls from our rec league make jv in hs if they try out.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Learning to handle the stress of being a softball pitcher has been a massive confidence builder for my DD. As parents we wouldn't trade those hours spent sitting on a bucket catching for anything.[/quote]

I was excited for softball for DD then I quickly realized how insane some of the parents were, no thanks... we bowed out of that quickly. [/quote]

Eh^^ there are CRAZY parents in every sport. Hec, dcum had to divide up the Sports Forum b/c of the crazy soccer/volleyball/lax/swim/bball people posting.

Just stick to rec league for any sport or don't engage with the overly zealous parents if your kid shows interest in HS level or travel.[/quote][/quote]

+1 to the rec girls being able to make at least JV (at some schools even varsity), especially if they also do rec+ and participate in other similar opportunities. A mom of a C level travel player told me there were many rec girls who are equivalent to low level travel players in HS. And there are girls who play all the way through, or at least into high school, without doing anything but rec. It really can be as chill as you want it.

It's different than soccer/volleyball/basketball/baseball where you really have to play mid to high level club to make even a freshman HS team.[/quote]
