[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love all the people recommending softball when OP specifically said that wasn't what her daughter enjoyed.

I actually came on here to beg people NOT to recommend softball. Its a really complex sport and we are SO tired of new girls joining who have never watched a baseball game in their life and are terrified the ball might actually be hit or thrown to them. Please God no. [/quote]

Softball coach here, we're always happy to get new players and take pride in getting them quickly up to speed. If you get a coach like this guy don't give up, find a better league.[/quote]

Haha. Most coaches 12u and up feel this way. I'm guessing you are either not a coach, or you coach 8u. Its not fair to players working on double plays and bunt collapse to have to wait up while some kid learns how to field an easy grounder or not swing in the dirt. [/quote]

The OP is looking for a league for 8 year olds. But if an older kid wants to join and isn't disruptive we have multiple coaches available to work with them without disrupting the high precision double play routines, plus softball players are more accepting of new players than baseball.[/quote]

Fine, you take them all. But for the love people, stop recommending this sport to kids who can't play sports. [/quote]
