My DD had been with a team for about 3 years. She grew, as a result of working hard and lessons... and had fun but at the end of three years it was time for a change. The HC was not a teacher, they were a yeller and one who believed more reps the better, but wouldn't actually teach or show. There were also some pretty significant cliques forming.
My DD decided it was time to move on. First year 14U team and she's got a great, although disorganized coach. She's learned allot in the short time she's been with her new team...BUT, there's always a but. The team has had almost a 100% turnover since fall ball, girls leaving because they didn't want to play ball so now the girls are all getting to know each other all over.
The HC coaches High School ball and is super busy so we definitely aren't as busy as we once were. Tough to get used to, but I hold out hope that my DD will continue to grow this year and by the end of the year the team will come together as one or we'll be looking again. First tournament and my DD hurts her throwing shoulder so she's out for a few weeks at least; man...when it rains it pours.
I try to be positive about this team and this coach and we will most definitely finish out the season, but man....makes that leaving decision tougher to swallow although necessary.
End of rant....
