College softball teams particularly consist of Caucasion girls who have been playing since they were born.....

I couldn't quite infer from your question if you're the one that's African American who's thinking of trying out?  If its you, I'd say give it a shot regardless of who is on the team.  Hopefully they'd give you a fair shot, and from what you've said about your hitting, I'd think they'd be crazy not to find a spot for you.\n\nSpecifically regarding the racial disparity of women's softball, I've never known that there was a disparity.  I'm not a huge fan of it, so maybe I just haven't noticed.  Regardless, I don't think it would be awkward so long as your comfortable with yourself and you're able to focus on the game without dwelling on it.  I actually just got back from a hockey game tonight with the San Jose Sharks, and they have an African American on their team (Grier) that has had to deal with the same thing his whole life.  Although I remember him being a lot better than what he showed tonight, he's always been very good and fit right in over the course of his career.\n\nI say "go for it!"  Good Luck!

I admire & respect the women who watch the game! It's a great sport & I see no reason why they can't enjoy it as much as us guys can!\n\nWhether or not I'd be cynical about the gal would depend on her & how much she actually know about the teams & players!

I absolutely agree with you! Softball is harder than baesball sometimes!!!!  I have no idea why it isn't considered a sport, because it's not at my school.  Someone needs to write a letter!  lol

The definition of co-ed is basically boys and girls, so there should be no rule against girls playing too.  But maybe you mispoke and meant a team that is gender specific...  In that case, yes.  Good players should have the opportunity to play with other good players.  That is the only way they will develope better skills.  If a female has the ability and is better than some of the boys, let her play.  But don't lower the standards just to let her on the team.

No it's not unfair,  it would be a lot harder to throw a softball overhanded than underhanded. But i will gaurentee you that girls can throw faster underhanded than guys can!

Life isn't always fair...realistically, it sometimes is, and it sometimes isn't. These things happen. If you really care about softball, keep playing and working on your skills. Try out again somewhere else, some other time. Try other things. Don't give up!

The baseball is knit tighter and the players are stronger. The harder the ball, the further it will go.  A softball could never be hit as hard.

Y'know it's a good thing to be a good girl. Good girls go to college.

Women do play baseball. One woman got as high as double recently. Women lack the upper body strength to play on the same level as men in baseball. Women strong enough to hit it out of the infield, who have the reflexes to hit major league pitching and are fast enough to play a posisition are extremely rare. That one would go through all the publicity and harrassment is even rarer. So if women do find a niche it'll likely be as under arm pitchers. Some ladies softball pitchers can whip a softball close to 100 mph. Not quite the same as doing it in baseball but close enough that you will likely eventually see a woman pitching for a major leage baseball team.

LOl that's funny cause my boyfriend has a softball team that he coaches, (grown men) they are 3 and 0 at this time. And don't look like they will be winning anytime soon. Its sad cause my b/f gets practices together for the team and 3 guys show up then game time they are all there. The pitcher lobs the balls over the Catchers plate. Its hard to tell a team of 40 year old men  (that are all your friends) to get there heads outa there *you know whats. I wish I had your answer. Alls I can say is practice practice practice! Maybe after losing so much they will realize that they need more practice. There is always next year!!! Good luck!

If she was scouted by this team they know where she usually plays.  Usually when teams scout they look at everything, and it is possible, that they saw something to make them think she would be a good outfielder.\n\nIt is also good to play different postions, my son who is 12 has played 1st base and pitched, but when he gets the oppertunity to play somewhere else he enjoys it
