re: Child first - UGA vs LSU Baseball second

LSUHobNailBoot, travel ball is definitely an expensive hobby/lifestyle. My niece plays 14U travel ball and is also based out of Georgia. She pitches and plays 1st for her team. I remember when my niece started playing 8 or 10U. I never really thought she would have the chance to play in college, but I was shocked at how much better she has gotten over the years! When you start seeing college coaches watch it is a really proud moment. With the right coaching and organization backing her, you would be surprised what these coaches can do. I don’t think a lot of people really understand the weight of travel ball compared to rec or school ball. Colleges may look at school ball, but coaches come out in full force to watch these travel ball tournaments/showcases. My niece started out on a no name team and kept working her way up. If your daughter works hard and has the ability, all you can do is push her! Softball is such a fun sport to watch. It’s a much faster game and some of the girls are amazing athletes!
