DD is going to have to switch teams as her team has imploded after fall ball. Question one how hard is it going to be to find a team for spring? I don't know. How many teams are in your area that she could compete for the starting catcher's spot? If it's the coach's DD, forget it.Question 2 she turned down one of the three teams she tried out for in fall because they had three catchers and I was worried she wouldn't get enough plate time (my mistake). She has played against this team a couple of times in the fall and did pretty well, and I think they are still looking for players. Is it bad form to go back and see if they are interested. No, It's not. But be prepared to be rebuffed. Some coaches are just A-holes and take rejection personally. Finally in words of wisdom or caution would be appreciated.Practice, practice, practice. Good catchers come from the proper mechanics taught by a qualified coach or a parent that went to The Catching Camp , downloaded the video and spent countless hours at home to perfect them. Oh the basics she is 11 late may birthday played 12u c, this fall was her first in travel ball (competitive). I don't think she is quite ready for b level, maybe as a hitter but not as a catcher. Are you sure about that? It never hurts to tryout and not make it. At the very least, your DD could see the level of player she needs to surpass in order to play at that level. Thanks for any help.
