Is it ok to leave a team after fall ball? Or do you honor your commitment though your daughter and you as her parents are unhappy with the team?
Do whats best for your daughter. Do not even consider "doing all you can to honor your commitment". Most organizations will replace your daughter in a heartbeat if they can find someone better, no matter how dedicated she is or how hard she works. Her happiness is the only thing that counts.

Difference is my employer pays me. I don't pay it to show up. Also, I chose to work in a field I enjoy. If my employer was making my life miserable or treating me poorly, I am not honoring my "commitment" to it. I also believe in showing my daughter that hard work does pay off and her happiness comes first. If it becomes apparent that the organization isn't a good fit, players aren't being developed, daddy ball is overly obvious, things said at tryouts aren't followed through on or any number of other reasons, then I'm not teaching her to just grin and bear it. These days you have organization actively looking to replace players 2-3 months before their season actually ends. Committing to an organization that isn't committed to you doesn't teach you anything.
Wow...this is a perfect example of what is wrong with our country. You do realize that honoring a commitment is one of the best things you can teach your daughter!?! Unless "happiness" was specifically mentioned as something your team would provide for your daughter in the contract, you might have to work on this one yourself. Do you have a "happiness" clause with your employer?
Life is not fair...those that work the hardest and are the most dedicated don't always come out on top. What happened to teaching kids that they should take pride (be happy) with working hard, being dedicated and (God forbid) honoring a commitment?
