We were approached at sign up about a traveling team, which I signed my daughter up for. (10 & U) I was never called or offically told there wasn't gonna be a team - I simply heard through another Mom that there wasn't.
We only have 4 summer league softball teams that we play over & over... and only 9 - 10 girls on a team. Therefore when vacations start we are very short & have to pull from the other 2 teams not playing that night.
I just recently had to call a girl to see if she could play for my daughter as we will not be home to play. Her dad (the one that was gonna be the coach for the traveling team) tells me that his summer league team is playing the out of town teams that didn't want to cancel the games scheduled for the traveling team that didn't happen.
I am naturally a bit upset for many reasons: an opportunity not offered to my daughter, advantage for his team of many more games, disadvantage for all other teams not being able to use his girls when short handed, etc.
This coach is a neighbor & friend... how do I bring my concerns to the board w/out ruffling feathers?
I feel either all girls should have been able to try out & have the opportunity or none! Am I wrong?
