My daughter picked up at a tournament this weekend. We kept it quiet because her "regular" coach doesn't like the girls to play pickup. She had a few things she needed to work on, so we pulled the trigger and let her pick up. She had a good time, and we're glad we did it.
But here's the dilemma: her regular team has a relatively new player - she pitches, but she hasn't been to the last couple of tournaments because she's hurt. I saw her dad milling around at the tournament, but I didn't think much of it - so many people have more than one daughter. But on Sunday morning, my daughter's team takes the field, and there's the "injured" player on the mound, starting the game. She pitched well, and there wasn't a hint of an injury. My daughter left the pickup tournament in time to get to her regular team's Sunday afternoon practice, and the injured player isn't there, and the coach said "X is still injured."
I'm curious as to what all of you think about this. What should we do (if anything) and why?
