Summer before college travel ball
DD plays on a high end travel team. Is committed and signed. TT is set for summer of 5-6 out of state tourneys(some many states away), which was a grind on the body and mind last year after rolling in straight from HS (&10 years of doing it) Had several college coaches tell some of our coaches...- phoglight

Playing time at 12A
Well, it's not my philosophy as I am only an AC. Really, I'm not a huge fan of it, but i understand it. Yes, I put my two cents in.

Playing time at 12A

I really hate and love this sport
Really appreciate all the thoughts. I haven't been anything more than a lurker for about 2 years on here, but have always found great advice and varying opinions, which are great for discussion. It's tough. I truly care about all the kids involved. But, it's also my job to care about my DD...- phoglight

I really hate and love this sport
So we are entering that time of year where many look to next year and what is best for them and their DD. I coach with a friend, great guy, great coach. I don't use either of those words loosely for this scenario. His daughter is a fantastic girl, but SB is clearly not her priority, which is...- phoglight
