Interacting with other softball parents who have clearly lost sight of what this year should be about. These parents are living through their daughters and must have trouble finding friends to hang out with on the weekend.
I just found out about this website though crazy softball parents who have nothing better to do than gossip about other teams and players. Which is very rude! Maybe more of these parents should be going to church on Sunday instead of playing ball or talking trash on this website.
I have not seen one player out there who can get a college scholarship at age 10, so what does it matter what each team is doing right now? I have not seen one college scout at any tournament and I am sure that there won't be one at nationals either.
I also can't believe how much team jumping there has been this year. I have a suggestion for all you parents, why don't we as parents focus on teaching our dauthers how to be loyal to a team, and be a good teammate, instead of teaching our daughters to jump ship when things don't go the way the parents want.
Teaching your daugther to be loyal is a much better life lesson than teaching them that she is the best player and / or on the best team at age 10. I promise your daughter will get more out of being loyal in 10U than she will out of being told she is the best or her team is the best.
I want to thank all you crazy gossiping softball parents, because of you my daughter doesn't even want to play next year and that is sad because she is a good softball player and is on a good team. Keep doing what you are doing and see where it gets you and your daughters in life.
