Well, if she isn't afraid of the ball that is already huge, and you yourself have seen her commitment soooooo
I would take 12 copies of the girl you described to put together a 10U team over a team full of young kids who already think they're superstars.
I would take 12 copies of the girl you described to put together a 10U team over a team full of young kids who already think they're superstars. A team full of coachable kids with a love for the game, great hustle, and no fear will be a sponge for game skills and strategy and will likely far overachieve the team of kids who think they know it all already.
That said, I think your rationale is totally valid. If she won't get playing time, your team is not the right one for her.
But, as is said, if you don't think you'll play her then don't take her.
I'd take this girl, or 12 girls any day......as long as all the parents are on board with it being a "project" year. You're not going to win right off the bat, but at that age, you can do so much with a group of kids with great attitudes!!
I would take her,you can make a player out of her.I think after reading your post and other post you have writen.You are a good coach,I know,I have never met you or seen any team that you have coached,but it seems to me that you have a lot to offer to the game for these young ladies.Good luck and let us know what you decide.
