All right here we go serious stuff. My niece is a marginal 12u player. At times she can hold her own at times she struggles but good girl. At times difficult to deal with but she LOVES softball. Im coaching/manager 12U All-Stars for our town this year (My 1st yr) and tryouts are next Sat. She wants to try out. I love her I know as far as her "Talent" she may not make team. Its my niece. Her father (My brother in-law) is currently fighting late stage lung cancer the has spread to Lymph nodes. Chemo and radiation. Its looking rough! My sister in-law told me not to do her any favors for this situation to treat her like any other girl. What do I do? I feel I want to help bring some joy to my nieces life but then I will be taking 4 mabey 5 players from my in house team. That's too much for it not to look political. I want her to have some good childhood memories but............... Damn. There may be more talented kids trying out that deserve a shot. You know All-Star parents are NUTZ!! Any help Please!!
