DD (2007) will be on the same team from one year to the next! she is so happy, she told coach during their end of year discussion that she wants to finish out her career with his team
10u first year - team only played one tournament, DD was sub for whomever was pitching at the moment.
10u second year - HC offered her roster spot on next seasons 12u team, but with likely diminished PT ar preferred position, helped us with search for new team, DD still sees HC for instruction
12u first year fall - brand new team/HC in well respected org, turned out to be headcase. had been thrown out of previous hybrind org (rec/travel), not coaching anymore. had 4 AC, HC and ACs all batted in top 6 no matter what. D team, daddy ball
12u first year spring - joined a team moving from rec AS to travel, very successfull year in C ball, but unexpected PT issues with HC at nationals led us to leave
12u second year (fall 19 spring 20) - different team in same org as 10u second year, low level team, but DD got some real leadership experience (team was mostly first years or younger playing up), COVID spring/summer
14u first year - back to same org as 12u first year, different HC, great year, DD really blossomed in spring as a hitter. mixed team, some 07, some 06
now HC is moving pretty much entire team (unless some choose to stay 14u) to 16u, gave DD the choice to join him or stay in org on another 14u team. Dd chose to stay with current HC. DD had told him she was not trying out for any other teams/orgs. since they will all be in HS anyway, with one exception (one girl was actually 12u eligible), he figures they will be seeing both 16u and 18u players anyway, and 2 of the girls were already for this past year.
wow, gonna feel weird not to have to obtain new t shirts and hats! nice on wallet though! so nice that the silly season is over early for us.
