Is it costly: no not really if you have a pay to play policey at your school then that might cost a little but all you really need to buy is a glove, bat, helmit, and bag and as you get better and need more things you can get the other stuff so you can get to the next level

Scholarship: if you go to a school that is well known for softball a scout may come and look at your team for players to get scholarships for college teams but most girls get looked at in the summer on their travel teams when college coaches have time to see young girls after their season is over if you want a scholarship you will need to work hard!
good luck!
Facing elimination, Republic senior Hailey Johnson got the biggest hit of her high school career. Johnson’s walk-off grand slam in Saturday’s class 3 state quarterfinal sent the Tigers to their 2nd straight final four, 4-2 over Boone County.
Republic trailed 2-0 going into the bottom of the 7th. With the bottom of the order coming up, Loga Keck singled, Brooke Dutton walked, and Bri Hemphill was hit by a pitch to load the bases for their biggest offensive threat. Johnson fouled off the first three pitches before sending an opposite field line drive off just over the right-center field fence.
It was Johnson’s 9th home run of the season after hitting a state record tying 13 as a junior.
Johnson also picked up the victory pitching, recording 11 strikeouts.
Republic faces Kirksville (25-2) Friday at 1:30 pm in the state semifinals in St. Joseph.

That is just sport-ist and evil. Now i have to put all my questions into the baseball category and only guys go in2 the baseball category so no one will ever answer my softball- related questions! I AM SAD!! :,(
You can put it into Sports > Other. That is what the Other category is for — whatever is not covered in the subcategories listed.
This is only a limited amount of categories and subcategories that YA can have. They can, and do, change these from time to time. If you want a softball category, suggest it. If enough folks agree, they may add it. You can suggest it at the Suggestion Board. Click the ABOUT tab on the green bar to get there.
