That time of year! Why are you changing organizations as a player?

I'm guessing that if you used words like "more prestigious" and "jumped ship" you already realize you are soliciting negative responses.I’d like to know if anyone jumped ship to a more prestigious 16u team with the primary goal of gaining greater exposure to college coaches, and how much they think, in the end, it made a difference.

Yes and no.Good responses so far. But has anyone left a team because of coaching, bad teammates, terrible parents and so forth?

Hi catcher, my dd has decided to switch org this season exactly because of teammates and other parents. Let me tell you my dd is a very respected player in ohio and has been asked to play for many of the big organizations but choose to play with a lower a team as a favor to her pitching coach who is the head coach. My daughter is 14 and was pushed up to 18u where she had an 1.66 era. The girls did not talked to her and many times just ignore her when she tried to get involved in the conversation. The parents were even worse they would opening insult players when the team would lose. Usually my daughter would get the brunt of it. This girl is not an average player. The recruiting service Softball factory has named her in the top 30 players of high school age in the Great Lakes Region for 2020, also the same organization name her as a preseason high school all American. So after being treated like an outsider she decided to play with one of the big clubs. Surprisingly the parents, the coaches, and and other players were shocked She moved on to another team. Let this be a warning to other teams that players are free to move on.Good responses so far. But has anyone left a team because of coaching, bad teammates, terrible parents and so forth?
