[quote=Anonymous]DD plays softball and has played C level travel for the last two years. There have been two terrible consecutive coaches and the team is terrible (has won maybe 2-3 games total in two years, most girls don’t understand basic baserunning, can’t hit, mediocre at fielding.) I truly believe my child’s skills have regressed from when she was on rec with a better coach who actually taught them stuff. She tried out for some other travel teams last summer and didn’t make any. Her HS team is not that competitive so she will make it and she doesn’t want to play in college.

I’m thinking of telling her she has to go back to rec next year. She is going to disagree even though she constantly complains about her coach and most of her teammates. I think it’s pride for her/embarrassment to go back to rec. We can technically afford the travel but it feels like $3k down the drain for nothing, not to mention the hassle of the traveling. I am not even scratching the surface of the frustrations with this team.

Will she get over this? She is a smart kid with a bright academic future that will not involve softball beyond a fun adult league.

What say you DCUM? Is it okay?[/quote]
