Can I get a poll?

[default]

Mom, my summary is - 1) you may have been 'sold to' by an inexperienced coach, but he or she should be commended for making the tough decision in the best interest of team if your daughter hasn't earned the spot. 2) you and your daughter should now know that all positions are earned and not promised and if your daughter wants to play a specific position she is going to have to work harder to do it.

Seems like a pretty good life lesson to me because it happens in the business world all the time.

Inexperienced coach for a "gold" team. Commended for making a tough decision for the benefit of a "gold" team if she hasn't earned the spot? She didn't tryout. She never met the team until she played a friendly DH with them. She started at 1st for the 1st game & didn't move for it's entirety, 3rd for the 2nd & didn't move. The coach told us he was surprised at how good at footwork she was. We drove her 3hrs. to the games, back home and back the next day for a practice we were told about at the game for hitting. NO more time with the team until the tourney. Starting player in all 3 games there. 3rd the entire 1st game, rf the other 2. He was promised what we would do before he even picked us up. Commended for it? He should be asked to leave the team for it.

As I said earlier you need to understand the meaning of team. YOU isolate yourself and apparently seriously thought your DD was going to play every inning of every game in the position YOU wanted her to play and bat 4th. I would have to say they decided your DD is not as good as they thought or they are already tired of YOU. I'm sure they will be glad to be rid of YOU and the only one who loses out is your DD.

:lmao: As I said before I don't sit close to the team and other parents because it's easier to see the game.:lmao: I guess you can only read between the lines for your own benefit.:lmao: Daddy coaching and other parents and players complaining about who plays where, (& not just about my daughter). Those make watching a game as a whole really hard.

I'm far from hateful. I read every single post in this thread and unfortunately I am unable to regain the lost minutes and now hours of my life from reading this thread. You are the one who has insisted on being so stubborn and thick headed over the matter.

The only certain facts I have been able to obtain from your posts are this.
1. You're delusional
2. Medical help should be sought.
3. Your daughter is suffering because of your level of maturity.
4. You are going to beat this until someone gets on here and actually tells you what you want to hear.
5. You quit a team committment over one weekend of tourneys and I'm not even sure you lasted the whole weekend.
6. You keep crying the poor house. Travel isn't cheap. If you can't afford to drive two or three hours away, then don't do it. There are local travel teams, or maybe you've exhausted those avenues.

I could go on. In conclusion, my point is, grow up, shut up and move on.

FYI
"GOLD" is just a color at 14U and does not mean ASA Gold.

Ok So you don't like the coach, you don't like the parents and your superstar isn't playing where you want her to. Why don't you start your own team so you can fix everything. Be careful though its alot harder than you think.

So, are you still looking for some help in trying to post a poll?

DD sits the bench quite often (you know, a 12YO pitcher who has 8 pitches with her change up in the low sixties) and as much as she likes to pitch, she enjoys riding the bench because she gets to cheer on her teammates. She also loves to play right field and center (when she can find it).

In all fairness, the first year out of rec ball moving into travel is a trial for everyone. As parents, we should lighten up, sit down, and shut up. Always try to avoid signing the non-compete clause.

So, what part of this post is fact and what is fiction. I really do have a daughter.

Can I get an "Amen", or at least a hi-jack? And, yes, I have ADD.......squirrel!

LSHIFOTF,MSFO,&IDMT

I'm getting PLENTY of help.:lmao:

Boy it sure sounds like you are the package deal. Good to know for future reference. I know the organization you referring to, and I question your sincerity and your accuracy. If it were truly about the team, you would have. and should have, behaved differently. I believe your words were about you welcoming the team, not the team welcoming you. Good luck wherever you land.

JMHO JMHO JMHO JMHO (Sorry Klump)

I don't think you know the COACH though.

What do you mean about a team welcoming us, it's about us welcoming a team. Yes we are a package deal. I'm not driving 3 hrs. from home to leave my 14yr. old daughter with people I hardly know. Any other kind of staying away? You may be interested to know that I don't sit near the players or the other parents. When all the other parents are sitting behind the plate it gets hard to watch the game.

There you go again, putting yourself before the team. Maybe you'd be better off with an individual sport like horseshoes.

Ooooooh.... Did I hit a sore spot? NO travel teams around here. NONE. If you have read all the posts you'd know that. All the rest is just you crying because someone hurt your feelings.:lmao: Besides, who's the stubborn one. I haven't wasted my time on this post. It's hilarious now! It's better than comedy central!:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

So all you need to do is find a team that meets your needs?
As I understand them they are the following
1) DD plays all the time no bench time
2)You have your own private box seats
3)DD plays only the positions you say
4)DD bats where you say

GOOD LUCK!

Maybe you should have asked for a POOL not a poll that way you and DD will have something to do while all the crappy players and coaches are at the softball tourneys this summer:lmao::lmao::lmao:

It won't be too much longer before the men in white coats come to take her away.

Don't worry ~*{Mom}*~ everything will be okay...........

Omg, this and that, i cant believe....














I just wanted to post on this since everyone has......;&

I've read every single post on here. Fair enough, you don't feel she was the best player for outfield...my dd is slow too, I cracked up when I got to a school ball game and they had her in CF. I figured they needed her there for one reason or another and if she wasn't a fit, they would see that soon enough....whatever, they are the coaches, that's their choice. Yes, you did say you wanted a poll about being lied to, but you also said you quit. Did you and your daughter try to have a conversation with the coach..a civil, open minded one? Right after a game is not the right time to talk to a coach. You would be surprised at what answers you will get when you speak calmly with a coach. My son plays travel baseball, a few years ago, he was offered a position on the team as a 1st baseman. A few games into the season, he started playing right field. I didn't understand why...so I asked. The coach said "Are you kidding me? That kid has the best arm on the team...I NEED him there" that was a good enough answer for me, my kid found out he loved right field and that's where he plays to this day, I don't think you could pay him to play first base again. I am sure you are a real nice person who wants what is best for your daughter, but it sounds as though you didn't even give anything a chance, the minute she didn't play a position or bat in the order you said she was promised she pulled her....after the first tournament, no less. Ask a college coach for their opinion of what you did and see what they say....

The coach refused to talk to ANYONE after the game. We called him later that evening and talked to him about everything after we were in a confrontational mood. My DD wasn't the only one who dropped out. As for a college coach, who's paying who? Every player on a college team gets some kind of benefit, even walk-ons.

I have a GREAT idea: why not start your own team and everyting will fall into place for everyone concerned. Problem solved!

Didn't you say she has already been offered a spot to play in college???? Maybe I read wrong...I am way too lazy to go back and re-read...
