[QUOTE="goldflinger, post: 2114432, member: 7023"] Undeg01, sorry to hear that! That sucks for 9 year olds. My first suggestion would be to go to [url]www.oklahomaball.com[/url] and check out the message boards about softball. You could post a message about "9 yr. old looking for a team" and perhaps have some luck. I have a son in high school who played competitive baseball for years and we got info. from that site. Let me give some more unsolicited advise. I have a daughter who is now a freshman in high school. She played softball 1-year when she was 5. Then quit. When she got to 7th grade, she decided she wanted to play a sport in school and went out for softball. It was hard for her not playing for a number of years and I could tell it was not the sport for her. She got into Volleyball and it was the best decision we made.
