No guest players for any of you. If missing one of your practices will throw the Team off I can not even image what a guest player would do to the team. Has disaster written all over it, better to just forfeit.
Practice, practice!!!! We talking about practice? Play in real games is better then practicing IMO. Big deal missing a practice, she got to play a live game with live pitching. A lot better for the player.
First, no girl from any travel team should be picking up with any other travel team without the explicit consent of her team's head coach.
Any girl who does pick up with another team without asking for permission from her head coach should be dismissed by said head coach ..... immediately.
Any team/coach who approaches girls or their families directly about picking up and does not inform her coaches or at least request that she inform and ask permission from her coaches should be ostracized and avoided in the future.
Sounds pretty rigid and doesn't work that way in the real world. Come on, seems to me you want the girls to a have a signed iron clad contract where the team completely locks them up like a major league team. Ive been around, and the teams that make rigid rules around subbing are the ones that are in trouble anyway , and do it because they're worried about losing girls mid season\or after season. And yes, I also see all the time other coaches passively recruit girls. In this day and age there's a lot of teams out there to play for. Like somebody posted earlier. Your best defense is to offer a good competitive team with a happy environment. And if you have a girl that wants to take the initiative to go improve herself on off weekends, then more power to her.
