Private Training

[Manvar25]

Was wondering where the best camps or private lessons will be the best for my 11 year old daughter who aspires to be the cream of the crop with the right training? We are located in the Atwater Ca area but will travel!

Does she want lessons? If she does....ask her why?

[Manvar25]

No she didnt ask for them Im a parent that wants to provide the necessary tools for her!

Necessary tools for what? Have you ever considered that she may not WANT to take private lessons? I'm not trying to be combative....I would like for you to understand that having a kid take private lessons in a sport at 11 years old is not normal. Its fanatical and many times not driven by the kid's wants, but by the parents' egos.

Hopefully you can balance what "she" aspires and letting her just be 11 years old.
Don't make this a job for her just yet or you run the risk of her hating softball and hating you.

Thanks for your Input! It appears you are right after analyzing it! Thanks for the reality check! I guess my choices may be fueled by other reasons such as recently separating her from a travel team that appeared to have cult like theories and internal conflicts! It didnt end well with the last words from them being your daughter wasnt good enough to be part of a travel team until she was invited to play on this team! Insulting but in my experience success being the best revenge! I guess I have lost my focus and attempting to prove something!

If you scroll down the index page toward the bottom are the classifies. You will find lessons down there.
There is NOTHING wrong with wanting her to be equipped with the right mechanics and tools.
What kind of lessons.??
Hitting? Fielding? Pitching? or perhaps general agility?
The best tools,,just saw on craigslist inland empire a demurring CF3 for less than $100. One of the best tools she can have.
Your time at this time is the best practice she can get, make it quality time. If you are unfamiliar with hitting techniques lessons are cool, but as she is taking them, you need to learn to, to help her when you practice.

Cross training is great, being able to run fast, jump high, move quickly with urgency not only builds coordination, it builds a personal confidence. There are places out there that offer this, EM, Adrenaline, Ect. Keep her busy.

Give it a try, she won't know unless she and you try.
Good Luck Softball is an awesome sport, find the right fit, it is vital.

One other thing,,at this age the size of the players very greatly.
If your dd is not the big kid and hits right. Switch her now to hit left.
She will make herself more valuable and desirable in this game.
And watch the instructor, dump them if they are not giving her all the attention you are paying for.
Carry on

LOL..Don't sweat the small stuff here on the bucket. You have to realize who the alarmists are and cope, adjust, and overcome. Although there is some truth to what they say, they only see the world through the glasses that they wear. Some bad things have happened to them so they see it happening to you. Just watch your kid and make sure you are not hurting her more than helping.
Now back to your post, I know she's young but what does she want to be when she grows up? A vet is fairly popular at that age.
