There's nothing quite like youth sports!!
Sounds like a great time, Ken. Enjoy these times, that's the age when it's best.
My daughter stopped softball at age 14 when a team disbanded, and an ankle injury would have kept her out the following year anyway. I miss that, but I still manage a "boys" baseball team - these guys are
18!
Seems like around age 12 it gradually becomes more & more competitive, and once they passed about 14, a lot of the fun went out of it. By now, the prevailing attitude is "win - win - WIN!!"
Not just my team either, almost all the players are that way. But then, most of the kids that just wanted to have fun are gone by now & the remainder are the die-hard "veterans". Our division had something like 12 teams ten years ago, only four remain in this final year.
Ken, by all means stick with it as long as your daughter wants to play. It's worth all the work, all the hassles, and all the
dust.
Might even be worth the smell of damp dirty equipment in a closed-up camper shell!
