My DD joined a10U travel team this year. Prior to her joining, I explained that the stakes were higher than when she plays in the rec. league (where I'm the coach).
I'm curious what others' thoughts are on a situation. The head coach does not coddle the girls, nor do I expect her to. However, I'm thinking she has taken it to another level. During a scrimmage this weekend, I overheard her telling my daughter she "doesn't deserve" to be a catcher after the way she performed in practice earlier in the week. (I was at the practice and quite frankly I don't agree with the coach's assessment.) In any case, the coach went on to pull my daughter out of the game during the middle of an inning after a couple of passed balls.
Again, when we signed the DD up for the team, I understood the higher level of competitiveness that would come along with being on this team. However, I found these actions by the coach to be a little over the top for a 10U team. Is this the norm in the travel circuit? Am I overreacting?
