Travel Softball Case Study

Softball. It’s the art that I do when that lets me be myself. When I swing my bat and it hit the ball it’s like an artist stroking a line of paint on a canvas. When I am throwing a ball and it rolls of my finger tips it letting all the sadness, and worries go away. Playing the game is life painting a masterpiece. Each stroke on the bush is hitting the ball and running to first base. Music. It’s like a band-aid. To protect me when I don’t want to be sad, to express what I can’t express in words. Its when and artist can only express themselves when painted or drawing. And its like me when I listen to music,it’s how I express what I’m feeling inside.

As the level of competition increases among children, they begin developing their skills at a younger age. Recruits attend camps, showcases, home run derbies, and receive private instruction. Continually, parents think they must spend thousands of dollars for their child to play on a highly competitive travel ball team. Consequently, colleges begin recruiting at an earlier age despite the substantial amount of growth and change that occurs during the teen years. Therefore, in today's world of softball, if a player has not verbally committed to a school by the time they are a sophomore in high school, numerous division one spots have been filled and they are most likely out of luck for a scholarship. This problem of children aged 13 through

The day of my last softball game was the most terrifying day of my life. I have been playing softball for my whole life, Usually your last game is bittersweet and sad, mine was the complete opposite.One reason why the day of last softball game was absolutely horrid, was because it was the championship game and the whole game the score was back and forth, neither team could keep the lead.Another reason the day of my last softball game was extremly scary is because my dad who is the coach, randomly disappeared as well as my mother. The assistant coach came up in between innings and told the team that he would be taking over because my dad did not feel well. Next thing i noticed both my parents were gone, and i heard the fire truck and ambulance

I have known Lauryn Banks my entire softball career. Three words that come to my mind when I think of Lauryn are dedicated, supportive, and extraordinary. She is truly one of the most incredible teammates that I could ever have the honor of playing with. Lauryn is the epitome of hardwork. Our high school has an extremely competitive softball team. However, this did not discourage Lauryn. After making JV her sophomore year, she worked incredibly hard to make Varsity her junior. Not only did she make the Varsity team, she was by far one of the most stand out players on the team. Her hard work paid off when she was awarded second team all district infielder. Lauryn is both vocally a leader on the team and a leader by example. Whenever the team is down Lauryn is always there to pick us up.

My project advisor is Greg Lanman who is the director of the Peachtree City Girls Softball Association. He has been on the PTCGSA board for around 4 years and has two daughters who have also played softball.

Mike Latham is the president of the Peachtree City Girls Softball Association board and would help approve of the decisions about situations with storage and distributing the equipment to the girls. He would also help find a parent volunteer to help maintain the program. Joe Serratelli was my softball coach for four years and has been a part of the PTCGSA community

The pathway that Mia appears to be on physically is that she has been very successful in her exploration of sports, especially softball. I believe that she is very athletic and will continue to stay active in this way throughout college. Mia has had the opportunity to pursue many things along her journey such as joining the school travel club, or participating in the school orchestra, but she has decided to deny those opportunities to focus on her schooling and personal goals, including staying physically active (Manis, 2006). Mia has always enjoyed being outdoors and going on hikes as a child, and now she continues to stay physically active through playing sports such as softball and tennis with family members (Manis, 2006). Next, in terms

Life on a Softball Team Hailey Burr Payson High School / A1  Life on a Softball Team Starting in a new sports community is always scary. Sports have always just come natural to me, but joining a new community was still terrifying to me. I had a decision to make in seventh grade, to stay in city league until high school or join accelerated softball. This decision was not a hard one at all. My friends and I got together and talked about joining accelerated softball.

“Not everyone is going to see or accept you for who you are, and you have to accept that.” I was told this quote everyday by my mother. Today was no different, walking up to the raked field, quote on my mind , eyes on the fresh red clay, and the sound of my metal cleats against the concrete. I was ready for this day. After months of hard work from November to February , the tryouts for Central softball team were over. Over the span of four months, I pushed myself harder than I ever thought I could, but what I did never seemed to be enough for the team.

That’s a wrap. The past 5 years have been an incredible journey and it saddens me to see it end. These ladies developed a lot this season and they know the journey ahead is filled with promise. I am so proud of these young athletes. Thank you to each one of my players. The memories made on an off the court will carry on with me forever. Thank you, parents, for entrusting me to coach you all have been nothing short of supportive and outstanding. Thank you, GHS, Administration, Board Members, Coaches for giving me the opportunity to do what I love! I can’t wait to see what the future of GHS Volleyball holds.

If you are going to dedicate your summer to a travel softball team, then you better be all in. You can’t miss practices or else you will be behind on skills and information. You may miss a very important announcement about a tournament coming up. Also, coaches do not appreciate you skipping out on time they devoted to helping you. They will bench you for a game, or worse.
