My DD already gets the eye roll from her non-softball friends.

DH is AC on our team. My DD is somewhat well known in our age group locally. There's a team that has open work outs and I've heard they're really, really good. Like 4 hours of drills and hard work. My DD loves those and our team doesn't have them often. I know the HC of this team, a little bit. Would it be totally uncool for me to see if he minds if I bring DD to the open workout even though we're not looking for a team? It's a very well known org so she'd be one of a bunch, I'm sure. As much as she'd enjoy the work out (and she knows some of the girls on the team and would enjoy working out with them again), I'm not sure if my question would violate tryout etiquette. Or if they might think I was spying for DH or something.
Just Go!

I respectively disagree. The team holding the "open workout" is not a charity that wants to make all the kids on other teams better by holding an open practice. They are looking for players who are good and are dissatisfied with their current teams. For the OP to attend it's a little dishonest pretending like she is looking. Combine that with a dad who is an assistant coach on her current team, the whole thing looks very bad. I don't think there is any upside to going to this "open workout" unless you are considering changing teams.
I don't lie. I know the other team's coach. If we were going to go I was going to talk to him about it first. DD has several friends on his team, and these are 11 year olds so it's not like we're talking Russian spy level stuff here. lol. I know at least some coaches who'd want me to bring her either way in the hopes of changing our minds. But we're not going to change our minds for this year.
