She tried out Sunday and we didn't hear back from them like we were told to expect.
This organization is also the one that almost shut her down from softball entirely 2 years ago at the bad tryout.

Not sure what the org did to shut DD down completely. Whenever a coach says they'll call Sunday, and doesn't...I read that as DD isn't the 'preferred' (interpret that as you will) pick.

Whereas your other choice....

there is interest (5 girls) and you share the same ideology.

I know what the delay was. They are doing two teams. One is mostly 2003 and established girls from the organization. She didn't make that one. Then they had to figure out if they had enough quality 2004 players to field a competitive team that could develop for next year. I am comfortable with that because that is where she truly needs to be. I try very hard to be honest with myself when I evaluate my kids athletic abilities.

Best possible outcome. She is going to play with the local organization, which has put 42 kids in college so far, and I am going to help coach the team. They are trying to find a college girl that has played with the organization to come in to coach the team for the summer season and I will be an assistant during that and will run practices with a former college player and the guy that runs the organization during the fall/winter. DD is thrilled and we get to stay local. Plus, she got picked by the team without me mentioning a desire to coach beforehand so I don't have to worry about there being any doubt about her making the team if I wasn't coaching.
