Where to put my DD

What's on your mind?

by 8u/10udad » Mon Feb 20, 2012 12:55 pm

My 8yr old or will be 9 in July, has been playing 10u and 12u now for the past 3 years. I am trying to figure out, if I should keep her in 10u or try and move her to 12u. I have talked with some TB coaches, but, no one wants to look at an 03. She is started to get bored in 10u, because, she says it is too easy for her.

If its too easy, find a better team that faces better competition. If you are talking league ball or rec ball, go to travel. And if the TB coaches dont want to look at her, you should probably listen.

If she's been playing 10u and 12u since she was 5 and she is 8 now, then the next logical step is to move her to 14u.

What position does she play?
What is her batting average?
Where do you live?

Don't listen to them... Most travel ball coaches are idiots anyway!!!
:roll: :roll:

Eff it! :evil: Take her straight to 12U.
If she gets BORED at that young, and tender age you could destroy her for ever, and then you'll have a BIGGER issue to deal with.

You should start your own Gold team. You can build it around your kid, Dani, Ray Ray, and Sydney Finch (she throws 68mph and she's 7. Qualifying for Premier begins in June so you've got plenty of time.
