Isn't that better than playing left out and chasing foul balls?

''... all about "me" and not about "team."
One reason that high school softball is denigrated on this board is the inability of players and parents to adapt to an environment that requires more 'team' and less 'me.'
I love and hate HS softball. On one hand every game matters on the other DD and the other starters seem much more concerned about winning than the coach.
I think the reason so many have a dislike for HS softball is the lack of preparation by the coaches for practice, practice is a joke and winning doesn't really matter.
Even if you do not want to say anything now, not telling the coach at the close-of-season meetings would be dishonest. It kind of feels like not saying anything is either "resignation, (ie, giving up)" or "revenge." Not good for life lesson.
My DD and I was talking last night and she brought up the possibility of not playing HS next year. She is a sophomore this season and a second year starting pitcher on varsity. While she loves playing for the HS, the fact that she only pitches is a huge disappointment.
