Looks like we've decided to move up to 14U. Now we have a new problem! Which 14U team to choose? My DD has multiple teams recruiting her. There are 2 teams she is considering, she has friends on both teams with whom she has played with before.
For the sake of discussion I'll call them team A and team B. Team A has a sponser that is paying for everything except for travel and they may cover some of that. We've been to one of their practices and were very impressed with their organization and quality of the instruction. With in 5 minutes of being in the batting cage with their coaches and a few minor changes to her swing my DD was ripping the ball like never before! The only concern is the Head coach is an old baseball coach who has converted to softball and has a bit of reputation as being difficult. I did not see that at practice, but we were being recruited.
Team B has a lot of players on the team that she would play in highschool with and her future Highschool coach "helps" coach the team (unofficially of course). She is closer with the girls on team B because she has played middle school ball with them.
I believe that team A is the best choice because of the quality of instruction and I feel that team A would be the most competitive because of the quality of players.
Of course my DD is leaning towards team B because of her relationships with some of the girls.
What to do???????
