Hey guys and gals need your help.
Here's the situation
My DD is 12, she had was invited to play 14u this season. She was/is excited about this opportunity and has really been growing mentally and pushing herself to be better. Has me excited I have been waiting for what seems like FOREVER for this to happen but I knew in the back of my mind it would take time.
Anyways one reason I said yes to the 14u team was I knew she would have the opportunity to play J.V. or Varsity as a 7th grader. (No feeder program and softball is kinda looked over in the school though my wife and I are pushing the youth association in the area to get this going.)
As the school year is coming to a close the district has decided to combine all 3 middle schools and for a "C" team. (HERE COMES THE ISSUE LOL).
During the meeting they (the coaches middle and high school)
Pulled my daughter to the side and asked that she be a part of both"C team" and high school.
My issue
I don't believe that she will have any benefit from playing on the C team. Like I said no feeder program no pitching (no experience from probably 75% of players). My DD plays catcher and 3rd. I have spoken to my wife about the fact of me not wanting her to play C team the fact that I think it will be a waste of her time. (Haven't said anything to my DD yet) wanted some time to sit back gather my thoughts and ask someone opinions.
So am I over thinking this? Or do I have a legitimate issue.
Just looking for some feedback.
If you have any questions I will check this several times to try and awnser them.
Thanks guys
