We really aren't any better than a 12U all star team on D. I don't know if the coaches even realize how bad they are.

I know it's tough when you have a "Project" player on the team. Having a project team is really, really tough, even if you the time over the winter to work with them. Unfortunately, after a while the better players leave to find better competition.

You need to drag the coaches to a tournament and let them watch some of the better teams play. I doubt they've ventured outside of their pond, so they have no idea what's out there.

DD has played A ball and played on a good A team in the fall. We have 3 other players who could play A ball. We played with 3 of them last year and had 6 other players who could play anywhere. We weren't the best team every time because we only had 1 real pitcher but we could put out an OF that most coaches would be happy with and play some solid D and hit a little.

DD for various reasons didn't play High school so they allowed her to play again and she enjoys playing so for me it's just a holding pattern until the 16U team gets put together with some of the pieces. Teams try to take our top 4 all the time but they are pretty solid for a couple of months. Just trying to piece it together for a bit to give them a shot at winning. One of the 4 is the coaches DD so she isn't going anywhere, DD like the HC and one of the players came from a worse team. The other has talked to some other teams but think she is safe. We'll manager and try not to get killed. Our top 7 can hit pretty well so we'll stay in a lot of games. I'll help all I can if they want me to.
