    Update DD... To confront coach or not

    Well, I have an update to the thread below about my DD not getting to play. Come to find out she hurt her left thumb a couple of weeks ago and didn't tell anyone. The coach told my wife - who asked the coach after a game when he was by himself - in a nice and open way, why wasn't she playing...

    How many tourneys to play?

    My first travel team and I have parents asking to play more tourneys. My initial plan was one tourney every 4 weeks. Now I have parents wanting to play more. I don't want burnout. How often should a 14u play? Thoughts?

    Travel team sponsorship

    I've started a 14u travel team with a very small entrance fee and budget. I have a parent that insists on getting a sponsor. I don't want to be indebted to a sponsor(jerked around). What's the best way to handle sponsor requests?
