How do you deal with a player (10U Rec) who talks back to coaches, won't warm up with the team, refuses to hustle anywhere, pays zero attention to anything going on around her (i.e. One girl was playing third and has a cannon for an arm... this particular girl was playing 2nd and moved into the line of fire almost getting hit in the head), doesn't listen to anything we tell her, and refuses to be a team player. I know this rec ball and it's all about fun and not winning, but this particular player is making things not fun for the other girls. I hate hate hate hate feeling frustrated with this child because she's just that...a child. I want her to have fun and be the best she can be, but she refuses to take any direction. I've talked to her parents and they've talked with her, but so far it hasn't helped.
If anybody has any advice as to what I can do to get through to her, I would greatly appreciate it.
***Also, please don't think I'm singling this little girl out. When she isn't on the field, she is the sweetest thing ever. I don't dislike her, I just want her to be a team player and do the best she can.
