I’m in that life as well. I’ve coached a lot of select/travel softball teams over the years from 8u - 16u. I really enjoy coaching teams where I don’t have a kid on it…makes it easier. I stepped away 2 years ago as all my kids are in multiple activities now. My daughter plays on a second year 12u team. She could have a third year of 12u ball but I try to have her play up. As much as I enjoyed coaching her, it’s nice to just be a parent fan, too. I still give a few hitting and fielding lessons still here or there…I don’t do pitching though….at least not softball pitching.
Anyway, I love the game and I am glad there is a forum. Jordy as done a lot for the game both nationally and locally. She’s like a celebrity. I have seen her around Papillion and young softball players act like they have just seen Taylor Swift lol.
