As some others have mentioned, playing time should have nothing to do with performance at 10U, especially at the ‘C’ level. It should be all about development, and the coach should have a plan before the game starts about who is playing where and for how long.
It’s okay to hold your daughter to a higher standard, on the car ride home. On the field and after the game, praise what they did right and identify what went wrong, and commit to your team that you’re going to practice the things they can improve on.
I know it’s tough to let go, I coached DD through second-year 12s in Rec. But I haven’t been her coach in travel since first-year 10U and her softball journey has been her own, as it should be.
