My daughter has been playing for our local roster ball all-star team that has played in many rec league team type tournaments. The team is decent and the kids have a lot of fun together and the parents all get along and we have a blast. My question is this: Do I continue to keep my daughter playing for this local team and work to develop a good group of players for our local high school team? Or do I have her attend tryouts of bigger (better) established travel teams and have her develop beyond what the local team can offer? I'm far from arrogant but she is clearly the best player on her local team. She is the pitcher on the team and if she leaves the team would most likely be done. She has been offered spots on many very good travel teams already. She is torn. She wants to play for a top team but doesn't want to let her lifelong friends down and burn bridges for when she has to go to school with the girls and play with these girls in high school softball and other sports.
