So that is your story now and your sticking to it? You may want to read it one more time.

To be fair, in my OP I sort did this as well so I guess turnabout is fair play
I think it's important for kids (girls especially) to play mulitple sports.
I went to an SEC coaches camp and one of the AC said that she highly recommends that girls play other sports and not to specialize. But this creates a problem, especially for me. I do think "kids" should play around with other sports or dance or cheer. But at a certain age, (14?) you should know what your dominate sport is or could be. I really have a hard time trying to figure out , which sport has more priority. We have a travel tourney this weekend, and I get a call saying that a child has a team fundraiser on Saturday for a middle school sport. really? middle school? is the thought in my head. Softball can carry this girl to college if she worked on a few things, and mentally prepared herself to be a great player. I don't think a middle school team, for anything should come before travel, not even softball middle school team. Thoughts?? am i totally off here?
nothing is ever promised to any girl. You have to work to be successful. Even if its flipping burgers. BUT you have to have a priority. To play or not to play, dance or cheer. and my question to you, if girls missed a game or two for band or a " play", would you be ok with that? I wouldn't be OK with it. And college coaches aren't OK with it either. I can see a college girl telling her coach, "Coach, I can't go with the team to LSU this weekend, I'm in the drama play on Saturday!" And also right now, I have both my pitchers out because of other sports, basketball (knee) and Cheer (ankle). If we were playing right now, I would have to rely on a underclassman middle school kid.Just out of curiosity, what do you promise these young ladies when they fail at softball? You seem to want to limit what you will allow them to do. I have been the HC in 4 HS teams. I encourage my players to play as many sports as possible, be in the school play, do band, sing, ... Believe it or not, I've won a few games with this approach.
