The only thing I think is that if my daughter was to tell me she wanted to go to another team,whether it be her choice or by being asked by another coach.I strongly believe in commitment.My girl would have to play the season out before moving on to another team.I do not agree with girls team hopping at all,nor coaches recruiting girls while they are playing ball summer season/fall season.They do have breaks in between seasons to talk to them about going elsewhere.

My daughter is a pitcher possibly looking for a team. She is 15 but has been pitching 18U for almost 2 years. We are looking for a stable team with excellent, positive coaching. Are you still looking for pitchers? You really need to check with Mr.Jaynes.

Where are you looking to play out of?I heard Orange Crush (Marty Jaynes Coach) is looking for a back up pitcher.Might be worth checking into.Good luck on finding a team for your daughter. /?

Hello, I was just wondering where you are forming this team out of.My daughter is playing with Orange Crush(Jaynes).She has played softball for 12 years,from age 4 till now she is 16.She also plays Varsity at West Brook where she attends school.Anyway I was just wondering,in case things change with her playing with Crush.She has only been with them sense last Fall,her other team disbanned that she had played with the last 3-4 years.

I know Maw Maw's daughter and I approve of this message. I want to also add that the Straight A's or good grades are equally important for a youngster wanting to explore the sports arena as an avenue to continuing education. So when choosing a travel ball team or league, make sure that education is not hindered. BTW-- If weda known maw maws daughter a year earlier--she would have been a Rowdie lady---and a good one. LOL Thank you,it would have been a pleasure Mr.Weed!

I forgot to mention that my older daughter was very good at the game,my mistake to not fighting for her to play elsewhere as well.My older girl started playing at age 6,my younger girl started at age 4,and yes she was and still is pretty good at the game.

Years ago I experienced a similar problem with my daughter.At that time she was about 8-10 years old,now she is 16.Where we lived,which was in the Golden Triangle area,our home town softball league was supposed to merge with another town's softball league.I was willing to try it,but things didn't work out like I thought they would.I asked our local District Rep. if my daughter could play out of another league,and I was told NO she could not.Well I did not stop there,I contacted the "Head Man" in Austin,TX. and asked him why my daughter could not play out of another league?I told him that I had no problem paying her dues,getting her to and from practices or games.Nor doing what was asked of me to do from the league(work concession stand,etc.)The man told me,"if she wanted to play on a team in Dallas and lived here in the Golden Triangle,we could as long as we got her to all practices and games and did what ever we were supposed to do with what ever league we wanted to play with".So my advice to you is to contact someone like I did.It was the best thing I did for my daughter.I had two girls that played softball,my oldest is 8 years older than my youngest,unfortunately due to my ignorance my older daughter stopped playing because there were not enough girls in her age group (14)to form teams out of our league.I did not make that mistake again.My 16 year old is playing High School Varsity Softball and also plays travel ball with Orange Crush.She is hoping to attend College to play softball,so far it's looking good she is also a straight A student.So if your daughter is really into playing ball,don't believe the first time you are told NO!Go to the TOP like I did.She should be able to play somewhere with other little girls.

I am asking all area High School Softball/Baseball Teams,as well as anyone in general to read about High Island ISD Ball Teams being in need of assistance.They lost alot in Hurricane Ike's destruction(Uniforms,Balls,Helmets,Bats ect.).I feel that we as a community could help.So please pass this message on.You can read the article on SETXsports,under High School Softball.Look for High Island...High Island Help.
