That's my whole point. Just because its the "norm" for some doesn't mean It's courteous or respectful. It is what it is though. To each their own...
In our case, there wasn't a particular season or a need for one. There are tournaments year round here.

Players change for all sorts of reasons. We have 2 seasons, summer and fall. Older players move all the time. It is neither disrespectful, or not courteous.
I just read 4 pages and couldn't go anymore, so if this was covered sorry...I was brought up old school, make commitments and honor them till the end of your "contract". One thing that I do think drives this bail out of the blue mentality (if that's even the case here) is the workplace. The absolute right thing to do in the workplace is to give 2weeks notice min. that you intend to move on. The problem anymore though is as soon as you announce a departure, you are shown the door way more often than not immediately. It becomes such a Catch-22. You're an rear if you leave without warning, but give them warning and they show you the door before you're ready.
We all love our softball here and our DD's play for love of the game...but make no mistake about it..it is a job to play at the travel level...their "job". Once the last of the spring/summer tourneys are over, your "commitment" to the team is over..wether they were banking on DD's return or not
That becomes the time where everyone needs to decide if the fit is right and either sign on again or seperate.The softball years are short, everone has tough decisions to make. You just need to keep an open mind and not be bothered by the things you can not change
