With all due respect to a great youth baseball program, I see LL softball program as having only two purposes to exist:
1. Give the girls an alternative to playing baseball (I don't think it is a secret that LL never really wanted girls on the baseball field);
2. Keep the family's money in the organization.
Unfortunately, there are less opportunities for LL softball players to travel and play tournaments. And if the parents move toward putting their little girl into travel ball, well, LL's financials may dwindle a bit.
