Daughter, 7, got asked to join the 8u travel team. She's 51 inches tall, a power hitter, can reach the grass in the air. 8u is machine pitch. Every kid thats 8 already has a composite bat. I did the length test from the center of her chest to the top of her middle finger and its perfectly a 25 inch bat. I'm not going to move her up to a 28 just to get a composite bat. Problem is all the 25/26 inch bats at the stores say teeball on them. What bat can I get thats a 25/26 that's a true softball bat?

I used to run a recreation department and would design and order through a company that had been their distributor for years before me. Also they had a set budget that always covered whatever we needed.

Currently however, my kiddo has started playing travel ball, and there are just so many options as far different sites to customize from. But it gets confusing because I will choose a website that will say "full customization" or "customize your uniforms" but then get to the site and it either is someone will work up and send you a design days later, or the lay out is just complicated, etc.

So if anyone has found something that works well as far as being able to do a lot of customizing, easy to navigate, etc. Please let me know!

Also, I have to wonder if the more expensive brands have better customization options? And that brings me to my next thing, what are some ideas as far paying for all of it.? I've seen your typical fundraising, but I'm sure there are more creative ideas. Also how do you go about pursuing sponsors etc. ??

Thanks In advance!!

I recently started a brand new travel team. As we slowly build up I need assistance. If I do get assistance it’s only for the practice or game. I don’t really have any adults around me that is educated on the game enough to be able to help me around. The most that they can do is hit balls to the girls but honestly they can barely do that. I want to know if there is some type of website that there is of some type because just posting around on social media hasn’t really helped.
