#1 About a third of the girls are already on scholarships at colleges whether redshirted or full time playing Freshman
#2 When most folks say a full ride they refer to the max allowed by that particular school. See the info on Title IX.
#3 Daddy sports is Little League--This 18 & U is mostly extremely competitive girls that have trained for years for these college opportunities.
#4 You LaGrange posters have succeeded in cutting down every girl in sports that does not play for LaGrange! Why? The LG girls seem to be great youth with very strange fans.
#5 I truly rejoice in seeing such a great youth phenomenon spreading across America but it seems there are always those that cut down the girls that enjoy developing their athletic skills in year round sport endeavors as well as representing their HSs at the best of their trained ability...sad
1. A third of what girls are on scholarships? The ones in this 18 & U tourney or girls at college?
2. The NCAA decides how many scholarships each sport gets according to division. Each school can then decided to give this many or less, but never more. Example, DIA football gets 85, DIAA football gets 75, and baseball gets maximum of 11.7. I dont know off hand how many softball gets. These scholarships are then divided up amonst the players as the coach/university sees fit. As you can see with baseball 11.7 scholarships and usually around 24 players, you do the math.
3. This is still daddy ball. Did the coaches of this team have girls on the team? Ive also seen some extremely competitive little league games. Level of competition does not seperate daddy ball from high school sports
4. I am not a LaGrange poster and Im not cutting any of the girls down. It is great that they played and won and all that. I just dont want parents of other kids on here reading things that arent true about scholarships. Every parent thinks their kid will get a scholarship because of this and that really messes things up.
5. Again, not meant to cut down any girls, just posted to bring out the reality.
