This will make JJsqueze's criteria of 500 words or greater but bear with me.
Started spring/summer 12u with C class team that is primarily 04's but DD is 03. She tried out as a pitcher and utility. Has played predominantly LF and pitched very little. At the beginning of the season we knew they already had three pitchers but she was given a spot and has done well. She has 4 wins and 2 losses (was pulled early in each of the losses). Of the 118 innings total that have been pitched between all 4 pitchers, she has pitched 9.3 of them. She has not pitched in the last 3 tournaments (10 games). OBTW we have gone three and out the last two tournaments, four and out this past weekend. DW and I are really disgusted and want to leave but we don't want to be THOSE parents. DD feels that the coach doesn't like her and is constantly on her case. We have the option to go ahead and move to the 14u team that we want to play with in the fall but I'm stuck on the commitment thing. I am planning to call and talk to one of the coaches to see what their mindset is. If they're done with her pitching then we're done with them. She is not developing any as a player with the team. She will get so much more out of the 14U move.
