My DD is a pitcher on a 16U team. The organization has an older team also. The teams are almost always scheduled to go to same events. This leads me to the question. Last week, we were scheduled at same event. The younger team had last minute player commitment issues and withdrew from the tournament. They let the tournament know a week out. (as if that isn't bad enough) The 16u team lets the girls know they weren't going to be able to play. My DD was disappointed, but decided to make some plans with friends. Couple days go by, and she is approached to pitch for the older team. They apparently were short also. She politely declines stating that she had made plans already. So my question is did my DD make a mistake by declining to play? Do players play for teams or organizations? Normally, she would have jumped at the chance to play. I would hate to see her burn bridges over this. She loves her team and the program and wants to continue with them.
