I have a thirteen year old daughter who plays for a select team I won't mention. She is a pitcher and very talented. Although she only throws about 50 miles per hour right now. She moves the ball very well, having 5 pitches and throwing them all for strikes if she wants to. My question is, we just played our first tournament and her coach didn't give her the time of day.
For whatever reason she is the only player on the team who doesn't get oppurtunity to perform. She pitched Saturday during pool play and pitched the best out of all the pitchers. Never walking a batter and only giving up .5 average hits an inning. But when it came to tournament play today she wasn't given a single inning to pitch. Not being very happy and her self esteem going down hill, we are considering playing recreational ball this year then next year trying out for another select team when she is actually 14. The only problem is she loves playing with this organization and all our fees have already been paid for the year. Any advice on what we should do would be helpful. Like I said she works really hard at pitching. Throwing every single day and taking lessons through the winter. Very consistent on her pitches and moves the ball around. But since she doesnt' throw 52 or higher like some of the older pitchers on the young 14 and under team she isn't given the time of day. What should we do?????????????????????????????????
