[quote=Anonymous]My experience is with girl's softball, which is different because less competitive in the DMV.  But my kid wanted to begin softball in high school so I went to a baseball training place/batting cage and paid for private lessons.

I also signed her up for clinics at the same place, but I'm thinking that those might be more intense for HS aged baseball than it was for softball.  But if you can afford some private lessons, with batting cages in between, then this is a good way to get started.  The trainer will teach good technique and if the kid is athletic, they'll get to a moderately-ok level relatively quickly.  They'll use batting cages for a lot of hitting, but can also do some hitting off of the tee or trainer-pitch when appropriate.  They'll also do field practice (throwing technique, catching grounders).

FWIW, we went to Baseball Zone (they have winter clinics, school's out clinics, private lessons, and batting cages) but I'm sure there are similar places all around-- more in VA than MD in my experience.[/quote]
