[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]

That post deserved an eye roll, but I don't understand the softball recommendation for a kid with no natural athletic ability.  I think the PPs are confusing athleticism with aggressiveness.  Softball and baseball are two of the sports out there where athleticism is the most important.  No amount of practice was ever going to make me able to catch a softball.  [/quote]

The prereq for signing up should be 100 throws back and forth with a parent or sibling and watching at least 20 innings of MLB. If you still want to join after that, fine. [/quote]

Clutch those pearls. The horror of kids trying a new rec sport![/quote]
