My dd has played several years for a local league where practices are non existent. She is a decent player, but far from outstanding. After several years of being with the local league that never practices or allows them to even use the fields for practice she tried out and made a tb team that was new. I feel like she keeps the bench warm and isn't getting any more practice or game time than before which is because she just isn't as good as the others. There will be tryouts soon for the upcoming season and I am afraid she will get cut.
I am a single mother and she isn't the only child and there is only so much I can do to teach her and time to practice and a place to do so are pretty limited. I have paid for lessons and camps and while she shows improvement it just isn't enough.
Should I even let her try out or convince her to try another sport? Should I ask the coach his opinion? I know she has to learn how to handle rejection but she loves to play and its already hard enough that she realizes she is being benched because she is not as good as the others.
