Absolutely. If she decided to leave there certainly be no ill will. I think in there hearts they believe what they are doing is the most appropriate. We simply disagree.
See previous comment on what kind of showcase team they are. Not a national program. I'd put her somewhere around 6 or 7 in the lineup. Above most of the coaches kids though. Just saying.
On the pitcher hitting thing, I can think of three of four right away off the top of my head. I...
I don't know...they're smaller and go to showcase tourneys. All coaches are Dad's though with kids on the team. But I don't quite understand your logic, she can only expect playtime when a college coach is there to see her? That makes no sense. ON the promoting players thing I don't think...

Am feeling like we're starting to head down this road. Think it's time to chat with the PC to get the riseball introduced? Or maybe we go through this season continuing to work the curve and drop. She basicall moves in and out well locating the FB, throws a fairly effective CU (Hits spot 40%...
Great advice. Doing now. Initial results show a "wiggling" ball coming in. Not bullet spin, but what i would consider less effective 12/6 spin. On to something I think. This would indicate a mechanics/release issue right.
