I have been to my share of try outs....after they go through their required hitting for example and lets say it was 10 pitches and they do not hit any balls, do you try to help? Lets say they do not get a ball out of the infield, do you try and help? Lets say they can not throw the ball to the first baseman from third? Is she too nervous, under pressure or maybe she can not throw properly. Did she get angry or did you see she was not as good as the rest of the kids?
Most of the
parent experts would not be looking at try outs as the coaches know who these kids are and guide them in the correct direction because they know the kids and I might say they know the parents also which may keep the kid from not making the team!
These are not corporate run teams and if your expectations are that high move a little further West and that does not include the Midwest and your expectations might be met if your daughter is that good and you allow the coaches to do their job.
I hope that does not upset you however it is probably what most coaches would like to tell you as it is reality.
When I see 18 year olds that can not yet throw a ball properly....whose fault is that? The parents, the coaches, the player, the umpire, the fans, the high school coaches or the 5 or 6 teams she has been on previously.
It is time to be honest about you and possibly your daughters abilities and I truly mean that without malice because I do not know you....however it is a gut check.
Most of the coaches I know would call you
IF they knew you were looking for a team if she was that good and you were not with another team.
