Would you leave your daughter on this softball team?
Christie asked:
We recently about 4 months ago moved our daughter from rec. softball were she was just about top of the line as far as talent goes to select softball. The team has won 6 tournaments in a row. We moved our daughter because she really loves to play hard and rec. just wasn’t cutting it anymore for her. We wanted her to be around better players instead of worse, thinking it would make her an even better player. This team that she is on their are alot of really great players, but a majority of the team is kin somehow. It’s like they will put in the family members before my daugter even though she may be better than them. It also seems she is losing some of her fielding skills because they only practice her in the outfield catching pop flys, which she can already do 95% of the time. It’s fun to be part of a winning team, but do we stick it out hoping that eventually they will notice that my daughter has talent just as much as most of the others. I am not sure what to do?
Bt the way she plays 8u. This is her second year in coach pitch next year she moves to kid pitch instead of coach pitch. She has been playing since she was 4 in rec.
