[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the ideas, they hit on many of the questions we had, but phrased in a nicer way. I had not considered the money grab aspect, but after the parents’ meeting I think it does play a role.

Most of the above questions were asked (not all by us) in the meeting. The answers were pretty vague, confirming the idea is not well thought out and will end up a cluster. It sounds like an outside person was going to start a new team with one of the assistant coaches and try to poach the “better” players off this team. Splitting now seems to be an attempt to keep this “new” team in the club (where money grab part comes into play).

We’ll stick it out, but depending on my daughter’s interest will consider other options for next season. Not in the DMV and the next closest team is over 90 miles away. This team takes a break for little league (they lose field access) and has never regrouped to play in the late summer. [/quote]

It actually sounds like they are doing pretty well by the players.  It's better to have two legit teams that they enter in tournaments or leagues, than to be just a scout squad.  This happens in basketball often.  In soccer I just didn't like the idea of letting the A team practice their tackles on my daughter, otherwise we might have stayed.  Likely you don't have to worry about that aspect in softball.[/quote]
