Sincerely, having an awesome player on a team is great but I will take a less gifted player I can depend on to be there. If she missed Nationals for a camping trip, she would be cut the following season. Not her fault I know, but it is unfair for the other girls. Coach should talk with BOTH parents and lay down the laws of commitment and team sports. Did is gonna have to step up and let dad know what she wants to do.
