Not so fast my friend...

Softball isn't like football where the coaches can get out on Friday nights to watch players. Most college teams in many sports play games on the same nights as the high school teams so fall and summer travel ball is usually the only time the coaches can see these players.

For example, when I was the head softball coach at the high school in College Station, I rarely saw the A&M coach at our games. It's not because we weren't good, but it was because they played at the same times as we did. She would stop by on her way home when we had a big game and we started later than they did.

I've had a lot of my players go on and play college ball at all levels in the last 30 years, but it was getting seen during the summer that gave them the exposure needed to have the opportunity to play in college.
