So my daughter is 11yrs old and has been working out with a 14U team. There were tryouts over the weekend and she made team. Tryouts was with 14U and 16 U and we were happy the ladies were not split up but she held her own.. but then the coach called us and told us because of high school ball one of the other teams will be shutting down and those that don't play HS ball will come over to his team. because of that she might not see a lot of playing time to none at all because of the size of the team and the skill level of the older ladies. The coach told me that because of how hard my 11YR worked and that he see a real talent that she wanted to be upfront with me with the playing situation and that it might be a downer for her just to be practicing but not getting field time. When I ask my daughter her thoughts she said that she wants to stay with the older girls and she understand the situations. There are two teams that wants her to play for them but 12U. She really likes the 14U coach and working out with the older girls. looking for some help and direction.
