sounds like you are looking for the right things, hope you find them. to me any team that falls outside of a 30-70% winning % needs to reevaluate (is TB for these girls, are they playing right level, etc.)Thanks for all the replies. I'll keep an eye out at the last couple of tournaments we are going to play this year. I suspect without being willing to drive an hour+ each way there are going to only be a few options. DD's current team seemed like a good one at first. Bigger organization, paid coaches that were former college players, were running drills during tryouts, etc. Mulitple coaches at the tryouts from multiple age group teams. It fell apart after that. First season the coach for her team was frustrated and not use to working with younger girls. Just one coach and she tried to go it alone with no help. Parents got upset and girls quit. Org hired new coaches to take over. Seemed better at first, but they are first time coach former college players. While they know the game, they are struggling on teaching. Practices are slow and not planned at all. They just tell the girls to go throw for warm ups, they don't teach throwing mechanics among other things. They don't have any experience on what drills work well and what drills don't. Team loses just about every game in the few tournaments we have done. At the end of 8u, beginning of 10u DD didn't care if they won or lost she was just having fun. Spring will be her last 10u season and she wants a more competitive team. Don't get me wrong, I don't want a trophy hunting team but DD is pretty tired of losing every game too. The girls are starting each game with a defeatist attitude and aren't having any fun. I want to find a good team with solid coaching that know how to teach fundamentals, have a positive attitude and have some fun while doing it.
