[quote=Anonymous]IME sometimes it isn’t a true skill regression but is instead playing down to teammates’ level, and poor team culture as you have described creates a lack of motivation (“we are just going to lose anyway? so who cares”) or (“I’m going to be starting shortstop regardless, there isn’t anyone else…so why do I need to work on my hitting? ”) or whatever. Whether that is right or wrong, it is often how this type of team works out. It isn’t a good situation to be in at all.

Was there feedback last summer about why she didn’t make the other teams? Or do you suspect what the reason might’ve been? I’d put her in private lessons to address her worst skill deficiency (and/or to enhance her strongest attribute) and tryout for other teams again this summer. She sounds frustrated, and feels motivated not to move back to rec, so I’d continue to support her in that for now- as long as she is genuinely willing to put in the work and it isn’t a financial hardship in any way.

Also keep an ear out for any subbing opportunities and take her to as many tryouts as she is willing to do. Join whatever your local softball page is (usually on Facebook) if you have not already. Often it is easier to nab a roster spot on newer teams as opposed to well established teams, as you probably know.
