[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dropping out on a travel team mid-season basically ends her softball career, she's burning bridges and it's a small community, the other teams will know. Tread carefully.

"ends her softball career"  :roll: [/quote]

Nope. I know girls who have hopped around a ton, including mid-season, and there are still plenty of teams who will take them. And in this case she would be takin a break entirely, not hopping teams.

No way would I keep my kid in travel softball if she did not love it with every fiber of her being. It is a huge time commitment for her and for us and that has to be kid-driven. That said, whether you make her keep her commitment through Spring would depend for me on how many girls are on the roster, how good she is, and what positions she plays. [/quote]

I have seen lots of team hopping or kids taking breaks from both travel softball and baseball. Especially at that (relatively young) age.  It doesn’t hurt a kid’s future chances if it is done graciously (very important) and the parents and kid are nice.

It will usually ruin the chances of a return to the original team, but even that is not a given. [/quote]

Depends on the level, the C level teams will take anyone whose check clears.[/quote]
