Becoming a team scorer is one of the best ways to support your child in the sport of softball. You will receive one of the best seats on the diamond and will be able to provide an invaluable service to players, coaches, umpires and supporters. Your knowledge of the rules will improve which will increase your appreciation and enjoyment of the game.
The introduction to scoring can be quite a challenge. Whether you choose to score at a basic or advanced level is entirely your choice and dependent on how much you enjoy the scoring experience. The main thing to remember when first starting out is the order of importance for scoring - runs, outs and the count. They key is to start slow and build up your knowledge and skills.
