[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking for advice about switching teams. DS plays mid-level travel baseball (13u) and we are thinking about moving him. I know that no club is perfect and he likes his team, but he is interested in playing in HS and we are not confident that the current team is the place to help him grow in the areas where he needs work. That said, we also know that there will always be issues with other clubs/teams/coaches and we could end up trading fine for worse. DS wants to stay on good days, wants to move on on bad days.

I am primarily interested in hearing from baseball people about the factors that they weighed before switching and what people feel is most important for HS prep, but also open to hearing from people who have been in a similar situation in another sport. FWIW HS will be in MoCo, but still TBD public vs private. [/quote]

Going through this in another sport right now in basketball.  The coach might make the decision for you.  My current situation it appears that the coach is mostly concerned with developing his kid even in ways that are detrimental to others on the team, eg he is underperforming the team on purpose.  It's almost laughable because his kid is so far from being ready, has issues with passing/catching shooting anything but a layup, can't even run a play.  I mean he has found ways for her to be leading scorer by slashing and hacking and getting easy breakaway layups, but some days our team scored no points literally zero.  My kiddo isn't dumb, she knows what is going on.  Just there aren't all that many options out there for girls' basketball in her age group and in our area.  In this case the coach got tired of being second guessed and found somewhere else for us to go.  I hope it works out.[/quote]
