my daughter has to move up to an 18U team, and we are having such a hard time finding one! She is getting very discouraged, because she has gone to 3 tryouts, and did EXCELLENT, but she doesn't pitch, and these teams told us that they want to save their remaining spots for someone who can pitch as well as play other positions. I spoke with the coaches prior to tryouts, and asked what positions they were looking for, and they were aware that she doesn't pitch, yet they still told her to come tryout for the other positions...only to be rejected ONLY for the fact that she can't pitch. I just wish we had been told that they only wanted pitchers, it would have saved a lot of time, gas, and hurt feelings. she is discouraged to the point that i'm not sure if she will tryout for any more teams, which would be a loss for both her, and a potential team.
