I have a 13yo and a 9yo who both play travel softball.
My oldest is the youngest on her team. Her coach is the JV coach at the HS she will go to next year. She practices at 3rd base during practice but she plays RF one game per tournament and sits the bench the rest of the games. If she hits well in that one game she will hit in the next game and so on. Her team is pretty good and they usually make it to the final game of most tournaments. I wish he would play her a little more in the seed games. Should we talk to the coach about switching her to another team in the organization to get her more playing time?
My younger daughter is on a 1st year 10u team that was GREAT in 8u. Before our 1st 10u tournament the coach asked if she wanted to catch because we only had one catcher. After several catching lessons (with older dds travel ball coach) she is the best catcher on her team and the other catcher no longer wants to catch. I think our pitcher and catcher have progressed much faster than most of their other teammates. I don't like her catching all 5 games in every tournament. I'm the AC on her team but have no real say in the line-up. I have another travel ball player on my rec ball team and have been teaching her to catch but the coach doesn't have confidence in her. There is a big difference between her and DD. Any suggestions?
