Coach K, I understand the plight. It is difficult to pull a team out of thin air, especially when you don't have half of them team from rec, a dissolved team, or some other group that some of the girls were already a part of, athletic or otherwise.Hello,
Just needing some advise. I am the head coach of a 12u first year team. I am having trouble finding a full roster because we are not a national organization or don’t quite have the credentials yet. I have 5 girls who are committed, did have 6 but she quit today as “the fall season hasn’t met their expectations” when we have only played one tournament so far. No other reason was given.
Should I keep the fight for my girls and keep trying to locate players or should I dissolve the team so that my parents won’t have to spend any more money on a team that may or may not work?
I love this game and I’m a first year coach which I’m sure plays a part of it but I’m a former player, assistant coach, and softball parent. Do I need to mention my credentials when reaching out?
Sincerely,
I just need helpful advice please.

That's hard to pinpoint, but across this weekend's three local tournaments, there are 37 teams registered in 12B, and 42 teams registered 12C.It sounds as though you have an abundance of teams in your area. How many are there and how long has each been active?
