I truly believe that it is important to teach a kid how important it is to hang in there and not let her surroundings affect her decisions or the way that she acts. This is great education for a young child to learn at an early age and to understand the "investment" made in this travel softball world is not just to learn how to play a game individually; but to help them become team players as well. I would encourage you to find a few families (or one ot two at least)that you can bond with and make the experience the best that you can for you, your daughter and your family (team). Staying committed can be a great lesson for her that may pay off later. Commitment to a team is very important reguardless of the circumstances and can only help her grow stronger as a person. Sorry for the long message as I am a farely new user of OFC but one of the strongest assets (I believe) is our relationship between our families and our players. Not every kid is always going to be happy with the position they are playing at but it is understood that we are all in it for the team and quiting to play on another team is never an option. There's my two cents (or 3 or 4 or 5)
