My dd plays 12u on an A type team. She pitches and plays 2nd base. We are very happy with the coaches, team and the organization. We just finished tryouts and have been asked to come back and have accepted. My dd is the starting second baseman and plays the position every game and almost every inning except when she is pitching. She is built for second base and plays it very well.
I would like to ask or send and email to the coach asking that she gets some throws from short and third in practice. With tryouts for middle school coming in the spring she could definitely play these positions on the middle school team. Im in know way asking him to play her at short or third in game. Just to have her get some longer throw from the other infield positions. In 10u on an other team she was the shortstop and third baseman. This team the girls that play third and short are bigger older and stronger then she is she probably fields to ball as good but does not have as strong of an arm. This is a very good team that usually is runner up or wins the tournament. My question is how to go about asking for this and is it okay to ask. I would never ask or tell a coach where to play my DD and truly believe her future is at second base. But on a weaker team she could easlily be and has been the shortstop.
