[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in a different sport (softball) but I don’t get bench players at all. I’m not paying/driving/hassling for my kid to sit the bench. If she isn’t playing, this isn’t the team for us, we’d rather be on a “lower” team and play. We aren’t gunning for college. The point of sports is the play. Period.

So you have to look at the bigger picture. Will quitting affect her ability to play on a different team next season? Does she even want to? Or does she want to quit the whole sport? If yes, I would let her quit, personally. [/quote]

I can't speak for club softball ^^, but in club volleyball bench players cone to practice only. They participate in the vigor of drills, scrimmage, receive coaching support, etc.

The only difference is they don't travel to tournaments which is a huge time commitment (as in all weekend and sometimes even missing school) and fincial obligation (travel expenses, hotel, food).
Some families have neither the time (re: dedicate nearly your entire weekend) or the money (club vb easily is $5k ++) for "all of that", but their kid still wants to (and is good enough) play at a high level .

Hence, the compromise is being a bench player.
