I was hoping I could get some opinions on if I should switch Travel teams. DD plays Third, First, OF. Has a good bat. She is a first year 12U player on a first year team. We do not play rec ball so travel is it.
First the good; Gets all the playing time she wants, Coach treats her great and is a nice man, we have a say in almost everything. Flexible with the fact she plays two travel sports. We are conscientious to never miss a game or practice for either. She is in my humble opinion the best player on the team.
Now the bad; Team has no pitching, needs guests to have enough to get into tournaments. Team doesn't practice consistently or play consistently, no practice plans, Players don't come to practice w/o penalty. Not a priority for most players, parents. We win one game out of five. Are going to go four weeks without a game. Having a terrible time recruiting talent. Have recruited some talent but lost them due to above issues. Is it good to be the best player on any team you are on.
Should I count my blessing that we are treated so well and getting all the playing time or move on to potentially being the "new girl" which takes a while to get all the playing time back and your spot in the order? Also I could walk into a situation where if I have conflicts with both sports that all the concessions are not made for my schedule.
Your opinions will help and I am gratefult for them
