After coaching for several years and also making moves to new teams with dd along the way, the one thing I’ve learned is that it’s rarely ever personal against the team/coach they are leaving. In our case for leaving, the first time it was because dd’s goal of wanting to play In college finally became a reality and she needed to play for a team that played at the next level so she could challenge herself to get better. The second time it was because the team she played with had graduated 9 seniors, leaving only 4 players left (dd was only going to be a sophomore). Very difficult to rebuild after that and each player wound up finding a new team, 2 of those players getting recruited to D1 schools and the other one now plays for the D3 she wanted to go to for academic reasons.
Both times the coaches wished us well, and seemed to understand. Both will still always talk to dd and myself when they see us, and we truly appreciate all they’ve done for her and their support, even after we had moved on.
