I think school ball and summer ball are both important. For one, it keeps us girls playing ball more months out of the year. My school ball team plays summer ball together on the same team, so for us, it keeps us close, and we get more experience working together, so I say summer ball could be just as well of an importance as school ball, however, there are some summerball leagues that could be bad for school ball players... but the more experience you can get, the better!!
