I coach a 10u team that moved from Rec last spring to Travel last fall. I have 5 players who are 08, which means they will move up to 12u this fall. The mojority of my remaining girls are 09s. My intention is to move a couple of my 09s up to 12u with the 08s so that I can keep the bulk of my girls together. I'm struggling with how best to handle the players who will not be invited to move up. One in particular, really has me conflicted. Her parents are the most supportive that I have, they are first to arrive, last to leave at every practice or game, they never complain about PT and are willing to help in any way possible. But the girl is far below the others talent-wise. She's more on par with a 1st year 8u player. Often times she "gets lost" in the field and can't remember what she is supposed to do. BUT, she is always positive, always happy and is just excited to be a part of the team. It is totally my fault. I took her on because I needed a body at the time. Any advice?
