The time is coming that I will have to re-introduce a player that made the high school team, back into the line-up. She was my starting SS at the time she made the high school team and only played in 2 tournaments with my team.
In the last month we have moved a few of the girls around, picked up a new player, and the girls are getting comfortable in their new positions. The player we moved to the SS position is really starting to shine. Great hands, average speed, and is a very "heads up" type of player.
My high schooler will have missed 4 tournaments by the time she returns. I do not want to ruin any team chemistry I have going into our remaining 5-6 tournaments when she does return. She is a delightful young lady, very athletic, and is one of my speedsters.
How would you go about introducing her back into the line-up, without destroying any chemistry you may have now? All of the girls on the team like her very much.
I am not sure where to put her when she does return. What I don`t want to do is, take anything away from another player that has been working hard at her postion and has been with me all along.
What would you do, or what have you done?
