On some other posts the subject of scholarships came up in response to parents pushing their girls into playing. With this same vein I have heard the arguments against girls playing slow pitch ball toward fast pitch ball. IMHO I would rather watch/coach/umpire a girls slow pitch game than fast pitch any day and I have seen/heard many girls give the same opinion but the parents feel they must play only fast pitch or they will never got a scholarship. My take is let them play the sport they want to play or play both in different seasons and let the other take care of itself because as Mike stated in another post...There are not that many scholarships around and the odds of her getting one anyway are slim. Also this year at my daughters 14U ASA Slow Pitch Nationals tournament a few Georgia coaches told our team that Slow Pitch is coming back and taking back over as the sport of choice over fast pitch in their areas while here I have noticed a steady decline even though in Mississippi we are holding on as long as we can. Other opinions on this?
