We did not ask your questions, or any others about pitchers - , when joining a new 10u team last year. We just figured it was first year 10u since it was a new team. We figured there were no established pitchers - since it was a completely new team. So, we ended up on a year older team than DD with 7 pitchers ahead of her that were tied to head coaches, assistant coaches, coaches in our org or had pitched for the HC in prior years. Lol.If the team is a mix of birthyears/graduation years, how many older girls are there and how many younger? This is important when it's time for the older girls to move up to the next age division. Will the team have to disband at that time? If so, will the coach(es) go with the older girls or the younger (how old is HC's daughter)? If you're on the wrong end, you'll be team-hunting again.
