All of my graduating seniors who have signed to play at the college level are playing on competitive 23U or 18U travel teams in order to improve their skills.....

slowpitch rec softball helps me with the outfield and getting confidence and also reading the ball off the bat better and react faster. It helped me a lot.. I am also doing asa adult fastpitch on weekends if that counts as preparing for the college level because its fastpitch and a lot of girls who have played college are playing. its competitive.
I am not really doing slowpitch for the offense. I do it for the defense and the confidence. On one of the teams I play on during the week, I was put in the infield 3rd base (already outfielders for the team) and I did well. I have a good arm and I can get grounders well. On the other days, I play outfield (left center) and I have made no errors and I have thrown people out trying to gain an extra base on me and thinking I can't throw them out because I am a female. I also have caught balls right at the fence as well. Slowpitch is a lot harder defensivly than fastpitch because the ball his hit higher, harder, and faster because of the men. Most of the guys are really good hitters.
