This is just crazy time from now until the end of August.
Coaches are looking,
Players are looking,
Organizations are dealing with coaches and age changes,
Parents want to know what next year's schedule will be,
Susie will play for you if Sally will,
Cindy will play if she's the only SS,
This coach is too loud or too passive,
Marcie is a great player, parents are idiots,
Marcie is an average to good player, mom and dad thinks she invented softball,
That coach didn't coach up my dd,
We want exposure tournaments, but not too much travel,
We want to travel alot,
We don't want to travel, can you get my kid to college,
Has anybody seen the coach from Arizona?,
Some teams are done, some aren't,
Families take vacation right at the end of the season,
Others want a break all together for month or so,
Some parents, have other kids who need attention too,
Some organizations have several tryouts,
What if tryouts get rained out in my town for that 7 city tryout team?,
Everybody is happy with their team and coach after tryouts,....next year the shuffle starts all over again, switch teams, organizations, coaches, and schedules.
It's simply a rat race that's completely unaviodable for ALL involved,( Parents, Players, Coaches, Organizations ), due to the rapid expansion of travel ball.......unless your confident in your dd's ability to play for ANYBODY when that organization has tryouts. Many will go to many tryouts and receive many opportunities,....and then the phone calls.........There's so much to consider, Good Luck to all,...Keep it friendly.
