This is a much better way of saying what I was trying to say. I totally agree.This is exactly what is wrong with sports in the modern age. Everyone is out for themselves first, team last.
Thinking that it is ok to miss a team practice for an individual practice is putting yourself (your daughter) above the team. You can try to justify it any way you like but it is very individualistic. Schedule your lessons on your own time, team practice is just that, for the team. By allowing one or more girls to miss for individual reasons you are putting them above the team and that sends the wrong message. School ball season isn't long enough to justify that missing a few lessons is going to send you daughter down the path of despair. I imagine they throw bullpens everyday and they are pitching in games. She is not going to magically forget how to pitch because she missed a few lessons.
To each their own but if you commit to the team, be on the team.
