Yesterday question of the day, (The dilemma of changing softball travel teams during the travel seasons why, when and how.)
Today question is for Coaches.
Removal from Team, Coaches when is it time to let a player go?
All Coaches at one time, has dealt with problematic player, parent. Sometimes you catch the problems early and get everyone back on track, other times your unaware you have a problem until it turn into a coaching nightmare.
I faced the Coaches nightmare maybe once or twice myself. It one situation I had to kick the player off the team due to her father an mother actions. In another situation after talking with the parents and players we was all aware that there daughter wasn't really interested in playing softball any more, so they agreed it was a complete waste of money and time to continue playing.
Both situation were stuff, they both were very talented softball players, in one case the father and mother were completely out of control, in the other case the father and mother were very supportive but unfortunately the daughter was running with the wrong crowd and nothing was going to changes that situation. Yes the parents did everything under the sun to get her back on track but the more they try the worst it got.
Other reasons you may choose to remove a player from your softball team roster.
A.) Constantly breaking team rules.
B.) Missing practices, missing games.
C.) Too many players on your roster.
D.) Coaches lacks the skill set to help the player advance. ( most coaches would never admit this because their egos are too big.)
Today let's discuss situation that would place you the coach in the position to remove a player from his/her team.
