Commitment should be taught by the parents. Should these girls decide to play softball at the college level and parents decide to take them on a vacation during conference play, I think that they would not be playing again and possibly lose their scholarship. Being on softball TEAM or whatever TEAM teaches much more than how to play that sport. It teaches how to be a TEAM player in later life, how to dedicate yourself to a task in a TEAM environment, teaches chacter, lifelong life skills and sometimes how to sacrifice yourself for the betterment of the TEAM. I do agree that family life is so IMPORTANT but there are many ways to have family life without sacrificing the TEAM goals and objectives. Softball is a TEAM sport not an individual sport!! Coaches tell their players that a TEAM is a group effort not the word I !!!!!!!!!!! JMO

Sounds like that Orangefield is rebuilding the girls athletic program? They are looking for a basketball coach and just hired a softball coach.
