So DD tried out for a handful of 10u teams. She received offers from all of them which put her/us in a position to pick the best fit. One of the teams with a good reputation had some very solid girls trying out with DD and she was excited to play on a team with them. So we asked the coach what their expectations were, if the other girls signed..we wanted a competitive team.Of course we heard they are looking to be competitive, all of those girls had offers and verbally agreed to play.
Fast forward to the first practice. None of those girls showed, of the ones who did are first year players half of which were really struggling with the basics. She's the only pitcher! She is upset. Moms upset. I'm not sure what to do.
I kind of feel like we made a commitment to play for this team and we should follow through. The coach never lied or anything. In fact they are very positive and nice. My problem is DD is a very good player and wants to be on a competitive team. This team is not it. She played up on a poor team last year and received a good dose of humility, she really wants girls that want it as bad as her. At the same time the coach has told us they are really relying on DD to carry the load so I feel like if she leaves they are up the proverbial creek paddleless.
I'm at a loss. What would you do? Does she cut and run for another team? She turned down a good team with good girls but the coach is still contacting me wanting DD and would take her today.
