Rio indoor very disapointing. If i remember right it may be 9 vs 9 or 7 vs 7. Not much coaching or help. Just a quick fundraiser for college team. My daughter played with her hs team, however some girls came alone and were assigned teams. Batters have 1 and 1 count at the plate. Did it one year and never again.

we do Rio every year...I agree there isn't much there..BUT, it is a chance to see live pitching and touch a ball every Sunday within a cpl hrs of home....
It is 7v's7, with 1-1 count...

ManitouDan, I will share with you what I share with my team parents.
The Rio league will allow your daughter to get several at-bats against live pitching prior to the season's beginning. I have noticed that the student-athletes that go there do get a little jump in the spring from a hitting standpoint.
If your daughter pitches, she will get to face live situations against hitters...
I think both of these situations are helpful....there is not much going on in the way of instruction, but that is probably not the intent of the winter program (and that is why some people go away unhappy).
You just have to decide whether the cost is balanced with the number of live at-bats for your situation.
Good luck, ManitouDan

It was $75 a couple of years ago. They go on Sundays for about a month.Not very many "games". . It is something to do in the winter, but that's all.
