Advice needed - 12U roster changes and playing time
We weren’t allowed into indoor practice due to Covid so I didn’t get to see them until we got outside in May. We’re in the northeast so our season doesn’t start until then. We’ve had a couple of scrimmages, first tourney was last weekend. Tryouts here are in July. No clue why they are so early...- seanyd1brit

Advice needed - 12U roster changes and playing time
Responding to the point above about how dropping a level could be good: I have mixed feelings. On one hand, I agree. I just want her to play, not schlep around the state to ride the pine.

Thanks, fair point - I can say (directly from the parents) that 2 of the 3 were definitely against their wishes. The other was borderline - she is a pitcher and was told she wouldn’t get many chances in our team. Yet the ringer and one of the newbies came straight in and pitched. Sent from my...- seanyd1brit

Advice needed - 12U roster changes and playing time
Hoping some more experienced parents and coaches can advise re: my DD current situation. She's first year 12U. The organization has four 12U teams and the one she's on is the weakest of the four. This team was formed in November after a "tryout" process, and has been practicing together since...- seanyd1brit
