I think that only very extenuating circumstances could create a valid reason for someone leaving one team for another just prior to the start of the travel season. As a parent, you have the responsibility to have a very good understanding of who your daughter's coach is, what their philosophies are, and what their plans are for your daughter back in the fall before you ever commit to the team. If its important to you and your daughter as to who she is playing with and who their parents are, then its your responsibility to find out who is on the roster too. If I did my due diligence around all of this, and then found out just before the season started that I was lied to or that things have changed significantly (e.g., daughter was promised to be in the pitching rotation pitching every 2nd or 3rd game, and then found out she was not going to be a pitcher at all), then I would consider letting my daughter change teams. Its just hard for me to imagine this happening very often if I have done all of my homework and established some kind of relationship and understanding with the coach. We have been fortunate to have very open and honest coaches all through the years, and have not had to deal with it.
