i am not sure but they should have a tournament with the best njbl bbh and any other softball league all play each other in a tournament calling it the best of the best tournament. To see who the island's best team is. Not a money making tournament but a bragging rite tournament. Low cost maybe 200$ a team to cover umps balls and lime. And 1st place trophies. That is all. Play for the right to be known as the best 12u softball team on the island

If you go on their web site e-mail the coach and set up a scrimmage, they are all teams that play in BBH top division 12 U. I think they playing out at BBH in summer, there are still openings for the summer league.

A lot of teams use NJBL for practice games cause most times they need to get kids into those games who don,t regularly play.
The other issue is with most kids playing on school teams.
they are tired.

The Sharks lost to the LAC FORCE at the 1st Chance PONY NQ and went 1-2 in pool play and dont think got past the 1st game on Sunday. They are not the #1 ranked team. They also lost to team LI also. LAC Force has good pitching defense that can play with anybody.

LI Sharks aren't that good so what they only beat LAC once and that is the only time that they ever will. LAC has dominant players including fast pitching they swng the bats alot and have alot of power behind them..the sharks only beat LAC 2-0 that is not conciderin mercying and the LI Sharks are only number 8 because this I a sum up of alot of tournaments and games, not just one..

The sharks are a decent team. But, when it comes to who is better LAC force or Long Island Sharks, Force it the better team.
Force has:
-Dominant Pitching
-Good Defense
-Good offense
Sharks Have:
-OK Pitching (not top speed is very much, hittable)
-Defense, is good
-Offense, they have only a couple good hitters
If I had to rank Long Islands top #5 Teams here would be my list
#1 LAC FORCE
#2 TEAM LONG ISLAND 98
#3 LONG ISLAND WAVES
#4 TEAM LONG ISLAND 99
#5 LONG ISLAND CARDINALS

To bad your coach is a nut case and the parents smoke at the field,, Chiefs did just fine for only having 3 10u players they will be tuff to beat next year.

Yes, LAC decided to continue to play 12U softball in the fall, even though most of their girls are 13 and they should be playing 14U fall ball. I wonder if their pitcher who throws 61 mph can strike out 10u teams that are moving up to 12u? That seems like a real challenge, they should be real proud of winning that tournament. Force should be ashamed of themselves for playing 12u fall ball!

FYI. The LAC Force Red 12U team that won the LI Hellcats tournament on Labor Day was the last years LAC Xplosion team all 99 birthdays. All LAC travel teams are now using the Force name. You should be ashamed of yourself for making false accusations,

li riptide also playing with older girls in 12u this fall which is a joke. They also are the most unsportsmanlike team you will ever play from the coaches to the kids!

Team Nitro did the same thing and won it all. oh yeah and they (RIPTIDE) did get beat in Pool play by Frozen Ropes, and I heard they are a younger 12u team. Coincidently that loss didn’t count against riptides standings for seeding. They gave themselves the easiest teams for seeding in a tournament they were hosting, what a joke!

Went and checked LI riptides roster and they also had players that werent even on their roster that played in their tournament. How can that organization allow that. Playing older girls is one thing but when there not even on their roster is total B.S.Why is nothing being said to that organization or the coaches about this. To have 2 out of 5 teams in a tournament playing with questionable players is ridiculous. Does anybody know of any 12u teams that are having any tryouts that have any class.

Look at this rule from USSSA , So basically teams playing in the fall (USSSA Tourneys), players need to be age eligible for next year. so in essence girls born in 1998 would not be eligible for fall tourney play.

http://www.usssa.com/usssa/usssa-general/2011FPRules.pdf

Sec 3. The Fast Pitch season and Team registration will run from August 1 until July
31. Tournaments and leagues played after August 1, will qualify teams for the
following summer’s State and World Series Tournaments. All teams playing
between August 1 and December 31 must play by the following year’s
eligibility classifications.

I heard one of the Long Island Cardinals 14U teams added a college player to their coaching staff. I think it was the black team. Rumor has it she has both high school coaching & travel coaching experience as well. My daughters team played them a couple of weeks ago and they were a really solid team. Bringing on a college player will only help them get better.

was looking at li riptide website. What a pack of lies that is . Heard they won a total of 5 games last year and they say say they made the quarterfinals of the Jenny Finch tournament. Thats BS because my daughter was on the Chargers and we crushed them the first day and they went into the losers bracket. To say you made the quarters in a tournament like that against the best teams around is a total lie. That organization should be ashamed of itself for even putting that on their website.

Not sure which Riptide organization you are talking about, there are two on Long Island. The Riptides out of Oceanside I have always found to be quite pleaseant both on and off the field. When we played them in Fall 2011, they always complimented our players when they made a good play. Nice Team!!!

It was a game that didn't count for the Riptide. It was an extra game that they played due to an uneven number of teams. Since it was their FOURTH game of the day and it didn't count for the standings they looked at it as a "fun game." So it was no big deal that they lost.

Please do not lump all Greyhound players together my daughter plays for the 14U and has never had an ill word towards another player on the field.

The Greyhounds have two teams 14U and a 12U that just moved up this past fall. I know there are mixed feeling about the 14U coach but you can say what you want but he is a good successful coach that is good to his players. The current 12u coaches are also great people and I have not seen any on field antics but I have not been to many 12U games. I do know that 12U is looking for a few players.

The current 14U team only has a few girls remaining from last summers team and ALL of the girls show class on and off the field.

You can say what you want about coaches and even parents but please refraim from speaking bad about a child.

This forum was regarding 12U teams so not sure why you're replying about the Greyhound 14U team but while on THAT subject, the 14U coach has made it clear that his two primary motivations is showcasing his daughter and collecting money.

Back to the original topic of the 12U team, anyone who knows the 12U Greyhounds team knows that the reason their looking for a few players is because of the behavior of the coaches AND players. No disrespect intended but you admittedly have not seen many 12U games so maybe you should refrain from commenting on a subject you're not informed about.

I am very informed about the 12u just because I have not watched all of their games is no reason for me not to comment. I do believe that people are speaking of the past 12u team from last summer. As of the fall of 2011 there have been numerous changes to that team. From what I know of coaches they are not what is portrayed here on this board. If there has been a problem since fall 2011 I am not aware and would like to hear some of the problems. The 12U team was the 10U team last summer the 12U from last summer is no longer.

As far as the 14U coach goes you are way off base but I will not discuss that here.

Top 10 12U teams? If you ask 10 different people you will get 10 different answers. No one knows. How could they? Teams play on different levels, different tournaments and face different talents. We all know that the better teams with good winning reputations attract better players and have better talents to choose from. Other teams are just lucky to get 3 or 4 core players. Unfortunately that is the nature of the game. Any coach can manage a great team with great pitching but it takes a good coach to coach a decent team and see them succeed. All the teams have their strong and weak points. There is no such thing as a perfect Travel team. No team is unbeatable. Some teams have great pitching to carry a team. Some have good hitters or fielder and the lucky ones have all. To argue who is the Top 10 is waste of time. What I don't get here is that other people want to bring other organizations down without fully understanding how the organization as a whole operates. My daughter's played on travel teams that were nightmares but I had a choice to move forward. We all live an learn. One thing I wont do is go on a public forum and bring other organizations down because parents and players should be able to join an organization without having other people make judgements for them. We should all be proud of our daughter's teams cause they worked hard to make them and travel ball gives them the platform to build their skills to play HS and beyond. Everyone should feel that their kids travel team is ranked #1. It only means the coaches are doing a great job teaching their players and preparing them for their tournaments. My daughter faces some of the best and brightest talents on Long Island and without those players, my daughter would not be challenged. Because of your talented daughters, my daughter is a better player today. TLI, LAC, SUDDEN IMPACT, CRUSH, RIPTIDES, SHARKS, THUNDER, BANDITS, WAVES, CHARGERS are all long island teams we can all be proud of. (if I missed any other LI teams it was not intended) Good luck to all teams this coming 2012 season. Hope to see you all on the field.

We should all be proud of our daughter's teams cause they worked hard to make them and travel ball gives them the platform to build their skills to play HS and beyond. Everyone should feel that their kids travel team is ranked #1. It only means the coaches are doing a great job teaching their players and preparing them for their tournaments. My daughter faces some of the best and brightest talents on Long Island and without those players, my daughter would not be challenged. Because of your talented daughters, my daughter is a better player today. TLI, LAC, SUDDEN IMPACT, CRUSH, RIPTIDES, SHARKS, THUNDER, BANDITS, WAVES, CHARGERS are all long island teams we can all be proud of. (if I missed any other LI teams it was not intended) Good luck to all teams this coming 2012 season. Hope to see you all on the field.
AMEN

So you finally decided that your daugther has outgrown your local little league and feel she is ready for Travel Ball. The #1 question is which travel ball team should I have my daugther tryout for? Here is my suggestion. 1)If you can find a Travel team where a parent is not the coach or running the show then you should consider giving it a shot. There are a lot of travel teams where a parent is the head coach. My honest opinion is, if you can avoid those teams I would. If you can't avoid it then I would evaluate the coach's kid. If the kid looks like they are not fundamentaly sound then I would run as fast as I can. Why? Because if the kid is fundamentally challenged that should say a lot about the coach. If he can't teach his own kid, how in the world his he going to teach yours. 2)Try to pick a Travel team that you know will stay together. A team that has players who has the same birth year would be ideal. The reason for this is you will not lose players aging out. When that happens teams will have to try to replace those players and can ruin the chemistry of the team. 3) Find a travel team that has good pitchers. If your daughter is a pitcher and she can help a team then hope that they have another pitcher that can share the work load for tournament time. There is nothing worst then having to over work your daughter's arm because she is the only pitcher the team has to win a game. Second make sure the team has a solid catcher who can block and handle a pitching staff. Most games are lost due to the catcher not being able to contain the runners at 3rd. I dont think its as important at 10U level because kids are still growing but something to think about at 12U level.

I have seen more problems with college players or ex players Managing teams. You can have problems with both types of managers. Most of the Parents that run teams do a great job. They are volunteering and not getting paid like some of the other organizations.Most of the people who just criticize Daddy Ball are Just the people who move from one team to the other each year and then Bad mouth the team they left. They will Never be happy wherever they play.

If my daughter tries out for a Daddy coached team I look at the Coaches kid to see if she even belongs on the Team , if I'm not certain, I move on, regardless of how good they are . Its great they are volunteers, and a lot of them are good coaches , but this situation causes more kids to leave than any other .

Sometimes there is nothing wrong with a Parent coached team. As a matter of fact my daughter actually play on one and I am also an assistant coach. My daughter loves her team and her teammates but she also understands that nothing is given to her just because I'm one of the coaches. I've told her, If she does not work hard at her position or at the game she position will be given to a player who wants it more. I would say about 80-90 percent of teams on LI are Parent coached. Out of the 80-90 percent of those teams about 90 percent of those I would say the coaches daughter is a pitcher. Most of these travel teams that are formed, the parent wants to be able to control their daughters pitching time. The teams that drive me crazy are the one where the kid is not even a great pitcher but the parent is too caught up to realize it and hurts the team. I've been in that situation before and it was pretty hard on the kid and the team. There are a few teams where the kid has tremendous talent and the parent has good coaching ability. Those are the teams you would like your kid to play for. There is no perfect travel team like I posted on page 15. My suggestion is evaluate your kid honestly. If you think she is an A type player then I would look to have her play for a team with A talent but if your kid is good but does not have A talent right now then nothing wrong with developing her skills on a B type Travel team where she will have a good chance to play and shine. To me there is no substitute to playing and gaining experience. I would rather my kid play on B team instead of being on bench on a A team.

Yea she understands it, just like every other coach.

Plus at 10 its ok, but you guys never give it up.

Evaluate your kid honestly? YOU CAN'T its impossible, not you but anyone. Your missing that point.

Just like people say their baby is the most beautiful in the world. Its seen thru a parents eyes.

Its not your fault, but the sooner you give it up the better.

First of all it is practicle to evaluate your own kid, give me a break. By knowing & understanding your own kids talent only benefits your kid. Be honest with them, thats the problem with society we give out trophys for just participating these days. Years ago an award meant something. I agree with the previous posts there is good & bad with both coaching situations. The new FAD so to speak is the ex-player coach, which is great only if those girls are able to connect & articulate & most importantly teach what they have learned. Most are right out of college with no experience, I have seen it first hand with my daughter. Just because they are Ex-players does not make them good coaches. They have a learning curve as well, some may be better instructors than actual coaches. It is like everything else, sometimes it works & sometimes it doesn't. There has to be a balance & to be real honest there are just as many male coaches who are successful if not more & they never played fastpitch softball. Some of the greatest coaches at the college level are male & the same argument can be made for ex-players. It all comes down to several factors: knowledge of the game, being able to motivate & connect with a young athlete & the player itself. So the argument will continue because there really is no one answer. You do what you think is best for your daughters situation. Daddy ball works does work & so does the ex-player coaching. Both have it's positives & both have it's negatives. "Let's Play Ball"

You don't understand.

Practice and evaluating your own kid is like saying the sun is blue.

Be "honest" with them?

I have dealt with 500 parents over the past 3 seasons, about 10 of them were "honest" about their own kids, you can't help human nature.

Just like every parent believes their baby is the most gorgeous baby in the WORLD..... its not true.

What does being on the bench mean? Are you saying they dont play at all. If you have a roster of 12-13 girls someone must sit out in games. How should this be handled?

also not evry kid can be coache dto be good. you can be the best coach in the world- doesnt mean your kid is an all star. that statement is just plain stupid. The bette rcomment is- if the kid is fundementally challenged but playing ss- then run away.

I think you should reevaluate your list. After seeing the LI Crush kill the ball in the April Fools Tournament I don't see them losing to too many 12U teams. They made that Ducks team that you have ranked above them look like a 10U(B team).

Well said Birdseye. The LI Crush seem to be a solid team at every position and from what I saw, very well coached. As far as ranking them they play like a top flight team that can compete with the best on Long Island. This team looks like they could dominate the 12u season. As far as the other teams at the April Fools Tournament their talent and skill didn't seem to match the Crush.

Round Robin tournaments are not a great indicator to show who is the best team in a tournament. Most coaches will play all kids during round robin tournaments. That being said most teams will play the best players during elimination day. I have seen teams go 3-0 in day 1 and get eliminated in the first round on sunday, and have seen team go 0-3 on day 1 and do well on sunday.
By the way the Ducks did not play their best pitcher against LI Crush. Any team can win anyday.

Crush went 3 - 0 again in the first day of the LAC Tournament. Scored 28 runs and only let up 2. Even beat the LAC Force Red (7-1) which was ranked higher than them. Seeded first for semi round

LI Crush was not at the JF tournament this weekend but Team LI 99 was. They dominated the first 3 days and went all the way to the championship round vs. Hudson Valley Huricanes. TLI lost 5-1 in th Gold Bracket. The long island teams present was LI Chargers, Team Nitro 99, LI Riptides, LAC Force Blue and LI Greyhounds. LI Greyhouds came in last with no wins and out score by a big margin. They were a non factor. Team Nitro did very well in the Gold bracket to lose to Team LI 99. LI Chargers was the first seed in the Silver Bracket. Also in the Silver Bracket was LI Riptides, LAC Force and LI Greyhounds. LI Riptides reached the Semi Finals in the Silver Bracket. Overall the Long teams represented very well. I think TLI was the top team representing Long Island and the other LI team representing also did well. I think had the Crush been there they would have done well also.

there arent any talented teams on long island at all in any age group they are all coached by daddies who wouldnt know the game if it smacked them in the face these girls have rude awakenings when they have to finally stand on their own and own a position on their own merits instead of playing cause daddy is the coach

I was at JF this weekend and saw many games. Long island teams did very poorly. Those that did well were facing 10 years olds. As far as placing 1st , 2nd , 3rd or 4th seed in the silver bracket meant 18, 19, 20,21st place of 30 teams in pool play. All of which won only 1 game to seed that “High”. Gold bracket was where most the top teams were playing. The only LI team to get far in silver bracket was LI RIPTIDE (I use the term “Far” very loosely), were shut out in the Semi-finals 13-0.
Although Team LI 99 made it to the championship, they lucked out and faced very weak teams on both days. Had they played the “A” teams (HV HURRICANES, NJ PRIDE) on day one they would have ended in the silver bracket. They have face HV hurricanes a number of times and have always lost.

been through the daddy game much too much so yes I am bitter especially when everyone else on the team is paying full price and sitting for daddys little girls who arent paying a dime for fee or hotels and is keeping whatever is left over at the end of the year and if you are a daddy softball coach or manager you know it true so dont even deny it.

The HV Hurricanes are playing in the USSSA New York State Championship Tournament on 7/13/2012-7/15/2012 State Fast-Pitch Girls 12 & Under. This is a 12U tournament, so you obviously don't know what your talking about when you said they were playing in ALL 14U tournamnets this Summer, but we all new that anyway, just proves it.

I Don't get the whole daddy ball anger my children have played daddy ball for years I dont know where you all are from but I'm sure daddy ball controversy is everywhere. If you're child is looking to continue softball in college there are several teams on li that can get her seen at the top showcases. Those teams are Team li, Sudden Impact, Bandits, Chargers those are the top 18u gold teams that I have seen at the top showcases and these 4 teams are always on the center fields. Daddyball or whatever you want to call it is fine for the girls who are just playing ball but if your child is more serious than that this is the way to go just check out their websites and you will see the list of girls and the colleges they have received scholarships from.

College showcases are a joke and that's not the way to get your kid recognized, it's just another money maker for some of the teams you mentioned. Some of the Orginizations you mentioned are handing out uniforms to anyone these days as long as they have their checkbook out! It's make money first!
They don't care about the kids, it's all about the money!
Check the websites and see how many have Full Rides to Div.1 schools. I'm sure it's a real low percentage.

HV Hurricames have 2 12u teams 2000 and 99. The 12u Hurricanes who played in the JF tournament that beat team li was the 99 team. The HV 12u team that dominated last year was the one that moved up to 14u. They moved up because it was a mixed 99 and 98 team. The 99 players and moved up to play 14u. I think the HV Hurricanes can play against anyone. I do not think there is a long island team that can beat them. Not even the LI Crush. Team LI99 found out for them selves. Team LI lost and they have better pitching then Crush.

LI Riptide lost in the semis because their Ace was spent. I saw them play and they only have one pitcher. I don't think they have enough pitching to go deep unless they get another legit pitcher. I think the worst team on the Island are the LI greyhounds. Why do they keep entering these tournaments? They don't even compete. They have no hitting and no pitching.

Their are only a hand full of Long Island products playing Div 1 Softball. Long Island teams can not compete against teams outside of Long Island. So let get off our high horse that these long island 18U gold teams are legit. Who is tell you that? The head coach or the organization? Of course they are because they want your money. As one post said, it all about the money. I would say the only team that really did well outside of NY was the LAC 14U or 16U team that won the PONY Nationals in Cary NC last year. East coast team plays only during early spring, summer and early fall. These Fl, CA, NV teams are playing games all year round. So if you say TLI, Bandits, Sudden Impact, Chargers are beating the competion at these college show cases your not watching the games. By the way just so you know, its not the teams these scouts are interested in, its the players. So if a college scout does not ask you who your kid is they are not watching her from the towers.

OMG you are all acting as if 12U ball will decide the future of these girls. Your daughters would all be ashamed at how you are all behaving on this site. You all need to calm down and realize there are good and bad players no matter where you go. Yes, HV Hurricanes are a great team. Yes, Team LI 99 are a great team. Yes, LI Crush has done well so far. What will all that matter next year? Can't you all just enjoy the games and the competition and keep your egos in check? It is, by the way, all about the girls, right? May you all have a great season and may all your girls be superstars, as they should be. I commend teams like the LI Greyhounds, who keep losing but keep coming back. Playing against such great teams will only in the end make them better players. Good luck to all the teams, in NY, NJ, PA and elsewhere. Now...play ball (and play nice!)

That may be true about the LI Riptide but losing 13-0 also means they have no hitting or simple shortgame strategy to score a few runs. And your right LI Greyhounds have not business entering any tournaments. They should continue to play njbl "c" division

The Hurricanes are an Excellent team, no doubt! The problem with TLI 99 is that there a small ball team and only have a couple of decent hitters. I've seen both TLI 99 and LI Crush which is a 99 team as well from what I was told. I wouldn't say that TLI 99 has better pitching then Crush at all. If your saying that you haven't seen them play obviously. They are without question a better offensive team. Both teams play excellent defense and are coached really well. They both have three top notch pitchers and have seen them all throw. Going by what I've seen I give the overall pitching edge to the Crush. The bottom line is they are the two best 12U teams on LI no question. LAC Force Red is a very good team as well.

I never said that those 3 teams were in that tournament, I said I'm pretty sure they will be there. And I never said those 3 teams would beat The HV Hurricanes;I said we will see. I think they will definitely be able to compete with The HV Hurricanes. It's not like the Hurricanes destroyed Team LI99; they won 5-1. I'm definitely not saying that Long Island has as much talent as NJ either, I'm not oblivious. The three teams that I mentioned are probably the only teams at this level that should be playing outside of Long Island. By the way that wasn't me that misspelled knew(not like it matters this is not English class)!!!!!

It's so funny that you mentioned winning a college showcase it's not about winning the showcase it's about showcasing the girl if the coach is only interested in wining the showcase he isnt doing what's right by the girl.

it's very sad that a group of adults forgot that this is a game that little girls play for fun and if there happens to be some chance that they can save themselves from being in debt with college loans by getting some scholarship money than thats great too. Let's keep it in perspective and may God Bless us all!!!!!!

I agree that this is all about the girls. And travel teams are better competition then LL. My kids play school ball and you can tell who the travel players are and who the LL players are. My only gripe is if I'm shelling out thousands to have my kid play on a travel team and spend hotel, food , gas to go to these tournment I wouldn't mind losing games but I sure hope the team is at least competitive. Losing 20-0 or 10-0 would mean the team is not competitive and should not be entering these tournaments. Maybe enter NJBL or smaller B or C tournament.

The Heat played this weekend against some very week teams. I have not seen them in any important tournaments. I think they shy away from any real competition. I think they are a 00 mixed 99 team.

12U teams that are I have seen that are playing well in 2012

TLI99
LI Crush
LAC Red
Sudden Impact
Nitro 99


The 5 teams I mentioned all 2 deep in pitching plays good defense.

All the other teams lack either another legit pitcher, or have weak defense or have a weak line up. I'm not knocking the other teams I'm just saying if you want to contend against the teams above you have to be able to go head to head with pitching, hitting and defense. It not a secret. Pitching and defense will elevate your team.

Seems to me that LI Crush is dodging real competition. The only decent team they seem to have played is LAC. I see they were signed up for the Daimond Nation Tournament next weekend but looks like that tournament isn't going to happen as I see Finch's Aces are now signed up for the NJ Pride Tournament that weekend. LI Crush should play some real competition before people talk about how good they are (you're only as good as the teams you beat).

LI Chargers are not a great team. They lost their top pitcher the lefty to TLI99. TLI 00 is not in the same class as TLI 99. TLI has no pitching and so so defense. The Crush should have been them with no problem. TLI99 will beat you with pitching and solid defense. I dont think Crush can even beat the TLI 99 B team. The Waves! Give me a break. They dont even have a 12U team. Their 14U team is not that great.

My kid is not on the crush. I think the are a very good team. I want my team to play teams like them each and every week. That is the way to get better. This is 12U ball. Great close games are the goal. The better the competition the better the results. We all want our kids to play college ball or we wouldn't be here. Losing is part of the growing process and winning is the goal. We should all be grateful there are so many great teams and coaches out there. There will always be a few "elite" teams. But one win against one of them can make a season or make a kid even more devoted. Winning a trophy at 12 is not the goal but a stepping stone. I look forward to many great tournaments this year. It's hard to find out results unless they seem to be posted here, so thanks for the updates. Good luck to all

I don't think most people are hating on the Crush, they just want to see them play tougher competition. That tourney in Riverhead had a bunch of not very good 2000 teams. TLI99 wouldn't even bother playing in a tourney with that much watered down competition. The only thing Crush is doing by playing in tourneys like that is making the other teams better not themselves. If anyone thinks any different they're fooling themselves. Life is about challenges so is travel softball. If they're a very good team (and from what I hear they are) challenge them it will pay dividends, in softball and in life. Everyone have a great season.

I am a TLI99 parent, and agree with the last post.

Last September, TLI99 played a 14U tournament and went 2-2-1 which included a 1-1 tie and 1-0 loss to Bandits McGinley. This year, we're playing 12U tournaments in NJ/Upstate NY; and 14U tourneys on Long Island.

I've heard nothing but high praise about LI Crush, and it'd be terrific to see both teams play each other.

Regarding the tourney in Riverhead and the "not very good 2000 teams", I can't comment on teams that I haven't seen play. I also respect the fact that each person rates softball teams differently.

Some older 12U teams can overmatch a young team that was playing 10U competition just eight months earlier.

I know it's about development that's why I said (not very good 2000 teams). The 1st year 12U girls are learning to play with a bigger ball,the pitchers are 5 feet further from the plate and the timing of stealing is different. That post was not a knock on the younger girls, I apologize if anyone thought it was.

Who ever you are, you clearly do not have a child who has gone to college yet. College showcases are the most important recruiting vehicle out there and give girls the opportunity to show their stuff; they may put money in the pocket of the organization running the tournament but they are still necessary for those players looking to play in college. Skills videos are also important; however when you send them off you have no guarantee the coach will actually watch it. They are a good follow-up when the coach actually sees your daughter play in a college showcase. And in case you question where I get my opinion from, I am the parent of a freshman LI player playing D1 softball......
