I hate drama. And I know there is no getting away from it in softball but OMG! My husband is coaching our youngest daughter in 8u this year. When he was picking positions I suggested he try his cousin's daughter at pitcher over our own daughter because she seemed to be more aware of her surroundings and where the play was at and so forth. He put our daughter at SS. Well the pitcher does know where the play is at but cannot catch or pick the ball up fast enough to save her life. She fumbles with it every single time it is hit to her. Our daughter has done better than I ever expected this year. So we are halfway through the season and he decides to switch them up. They both excelled at their new positons. Well the little girl's Mama has hit the roof over it and said they should have talked to her about it first and that if it happened again she would pull her child off the team. I could see her getting a little upset of he took her daughter from pitcher and stuck her off in right field, but she's playing SS. And he didn't pull her from the position the first time she made a mistake. He gave her time to see if she was going to get the hang of it and it just wasn't happening. He did not want to pick the little girl (and neither did the other 8U coach in our town) in the draft in the beginning of the year, not because of the child but because of the mother. She is crazy! It is his cousin's wife and poor thing knows how she is and has to apologize for her behavior all the time. So to reiterate- I HATE DRAMA!!!
