Got comfortable with second rate travel ball programs. See where girls are going from the programs in your area. This should give you an idea of how exposed the team is and if the coaches have any real college contacts that matter.
Which is more important - being on an 18G team or a first-rate program? From what I've seen, it's better to be on a first-rate 16U team than a second-rate 18G team...
You're asking me? Darned if I know. Just a couple of years ago 16U was something to blow thru getting to 18U Gold. I understand that has changed quite a bit. Do your homework, I guess
