Our girls played 10 games at the Cocoa Expo over a 6 day time frame. All of the games were double headers. Add to that a cloudless sky and temps in the 80's and I have now found the way to achieve a perfect Florida tan (or burn as some of the team found out). We didn't need a beach - 20+ hours of softball will do it for you. They ended the week with a 6 and 4 record (losing two games by one run). The other two losses came to the same team (a Division 1 team from Iowa that made us look like little leaguers). WOW - they were good!!! 
It was so much more relaxing to sit there and watch the games knowing that I didn't have a daughter pitching or catching, or coming to the plate with two outs and the bases loaded! Now, I have one just coaching. Easy, huh? Well on Monday morning - approximately 4 hours prior to game time, she was ready to throw up. She was more nervous to coach than she ever was to play. Once she got that first win under her belt and a phone call from her dad and former high school coach, she was in much better shape and ready to tackle the rest of the week. By Tuesday night, we were 4 and 0.
