Well it's an interesting choice for sure. Can choose to do high school ball which comes with a baskets of question marks.Just starting to hear some HS coaches in So Cal demanding players leave their TB team immediately. Others coaches set a date like march 15th and yet others said do whatever you want. Lot of confusion in California. Thank you CIF for all your great decision making. High Schools don't even know if they are going to have a season. And if they do, how long and how many games. Everything up in the air. TB coaches are pulling their hair out. Some smart coaches are already planning joining teams together so the players that either opt out of HS ball or are not yet HS age will continue to play TB. What a mess.
If that is already in your brain... a cause for future favoritism and/or being outcasted...there are/will be other issues later to frustrate you....that will have nothing to do with that!We're in a weird dilemma - middle school tryouts.
DD is 7th grader. Rumor has it that if you don't try out as a 7th grader the coach has a long memory and will use it against you as an 8th grader (don't ask me why, sounds dumb). But 7th graders making the team is rare (like one or two a year). And that they sit, no matter how good.
So, dilemma is...try out, and risk making it (and there's a maybe 30/70 make it / not make it chance in my estimate). Or not try out, and risk the "punishment" next year. (If she did make it this year, it would break her softball wise - no way could handle TB and school ball schedules). Whereas next year, she'd be fine as most of her TB team will be in HS and they won't start up until after school ball is over.
