Question of the day:
Do you allow your athlete to play other sports?
Fastpitch is life
But does your player play other sports? Competitively or just for fun? Organized or pick up games?
Do you feel there is a risk to injuries not endemic in softball?
Is there a risk to overuse injuries if your athlete only plays softball?
Personally, I had my player alternate between softball and basketball between 8u-14u, but now she focuses only on Softball as a sport. I felt this made her well rounded physically, but of course there were those freak accident injuries like jammed fingers from rebounds, and sprained ankles from changing directions too quickly. Sometimes those basketball injury recoveries interfered with the softball team and pitching lessons
