From what I see around me, many of these girls figure out how to maintain high grades and complete their homework despite all the lessons, conditioning, fielding, and team practices. They learn time management and are driven to excel in all endeavors. Money flying out the wallet for sure, but in the end, it is all worth it. If it wasn't for softball, you'd probably end up spending your money on crazy stuff like exotic vacations, fancy cars, concerts, cruises, craft beer, and great tequila. Or maybe fund your own charitable foundation.
Rain is delaying the satisfaction of playing games, but I'll remember these days in June when we're playing in Hemet in 100F or Vegas in 110F at 10pm. Ever do Reno in July?
