    Default What position do you play?

    DD is trying out for a Team and the coaches asked her this question. Her answer was “Anywhere but catcher”.

    Apparently all the players said a specific position, all an infield positions except for 1 player who said 2nd or OF. I play SS or 2nd, etc.

    Besides pitching 1st is her favorite position but she will happily play any position on the field and do a fairly good job.

    Is there a right answer to this question?

    DD will be trying out for her high school team and "any position you need me to play" is her answer.

    A few times, the first day, I just said " Go take your position!" I liked to see a girl that would go tearing for the spot she wanted. Most just stood and looked at me.

    DD would look at you strange too, who is this crazy lady and what is she saying?

    She is quick so she would get somewhere once she figured it out.

    If she truly has no preference, that would be the right answer, and never a wrong one.

    I wouldn't want her to pass up an opportunity to express a preference if she has one, coach may never ask again:
    "First is my favorite, but I'll play anywhere but catcher."

    If adversity builds character, perhaps it's impunity that reveals it. --Me
    They don't call them the "Tools of Ignorance" for nothing, and they aren't even using the full set. --Me

    When my DD was asked to go to her favorite spot, she ran got a bat and stood in the batters box!!! Her coach started laughing and came to talk to me after the incident. He stated this was a first for him and he had been coaching for 12 years!

    Joking aside, he is probably planning out positions, so just being honest is the best bet.
