My daughter is my first child to play on a competitive travel sports team so I'm new to this and looking for guidance She is currently on a 10U team moving up to 12U in 20-21. She has been offered her spot for the upcoming season on her current team before tryouts. Her team hasn't been doing well and the development hasn't been there. My daughter is looking to tryout for 1-2 other teams which are more competitve to see if she likes the coaches and they are a better fit for her. What is the ediquette on how to deal with the current team? Unfortunately all tryouts are the same 3 days, I'm trying to create options for her and let her see other coaches but don't necessarily want to lose her spot on the current team in case we don't find a match or she doesn't make the team of her choice. Tryouts for the new teams are Monday and Tuesday. Current team is Tuesday Wednesday. Do we go to the new teams Monday and Tuesday and tell the current coach we can only make Wednesday. Let her know ahead if she makes a new team? Or be completely upfront ahead of time. Again I'm trying not to burn bridges and explore other opportunities. Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance.
