My goal is always to be entertaining. However, I was serious about this situation. The coach is hurt by DD's departure. I hoped that he wouldn't be. He has other players to play DD's positions.
Thank you all.
I told the coach thank you, we are pursuing other opportunities, and we wish your team well. His responses have been all over the map. I think my family made the right decision for DD.
So it is time for DD to move on. She joined a team in the fall that is an ok team with nice girls and a nice coach. However, she has dreams of playing in college and her team doesn't okay big tournaments and doesn't get accepted into the big showcases. As a sophomore, she needs to be on a...
Has anyone heard of Headfirst Honor Roll Camps? DD got an email from them that stated she had been identified as a potential recruit from one of the colleges attending. According to the website list of coaches attending, DD has been emailing several of them. The camp is less than a month away...
Wow! I never intended for the thread to go this direction. However, things have gotten better. The starters have now dropped 2 games (by one run each game), and the parents are all settling in better together. Maybe (probably) I'm overly sensitive.
My DD went to Italy with America's Team summer 2014. It was a wonderful experience. She is going to the Dominican Republic in July 2015 with America's Team. I hope you are able to put a great team together for this priceless experience.
Our softball booster money stays with softball. The gate fees for the sports does go into a general sports account, administered by the athletic director. Baseball and softball do share locker rooms, batting caches, and concessions/score keeper buildings. In Georgia, baseball and softball are...
I didn't intend to be confusing, though I'll admit I was after re-reading. TB doesn't have anything to do with it, just that most of the starters have played it. I mentioned it as part of the parent's complaint that her DD had more experience (measured in years of playing with no regard to...
I believe the best 9 are on the field. I believe the best 9 were on the field last year, and my DD was on the bench last year. Seniority may get a spot on the varsity team for senior year (if they have played jv for 3 years), but doesn't get a spot on the field unless it is earned. Honestly...
The JV and varsity teams are treated in a more similar manner this year than in previous years. There was a coach (JV coach) who wanted the teams treated very differently so that the JV players would be more motivated to get better. That particular coach is now a head coach at another school...
