I need to vent a bit...
My dd's high school team went to the Div. IV final 4 last year. We have a new coaching staff this year and so far I am happy with them all.
We graduated 3 infield starters last year. This year you would think the girls would be stoked about playing and trying to get to state again. So far, of the remaining starters, only 3 are returning!! The pitcher, catcher, and 1st baseman. Several juniors, who started last year, aren't playing this year. One because she doesn't want to play with the other girl, who just quit today!!
We have a small school so all players matter at this point! Most of the girls who played the last 2 years have lettered twice playing varsity! I don't understand why you wouldn't want to play if you already know you are good enough to play varsity and letter for 4 years!
We do have some pretty talented Freshman coming up, who now have a very very good chance of starting Varsity this year! We had a pretty good shot at going back to state this year. Our chances maybe are not as good, but I am confident the freshman can get the job done!!
I am so glad my dd loves this sport!! I realize it is the kids decision whether or not they play, but the reasons for NOT playing seem so ludicrous to me!!
Okay, I'm done! Not so sure I feel better about it yet though!
