Stuck on Daddyball travel team
I’ll preface this with my kid is one of the best on the team so she plays the most innings, plays multiple positions(all the positions I want her to play) and gets the most AB’s on the team. Best BA, most hits, etc etc. So I’m 100% happy with my kids role on the team.
The problem is the team sucks because the coaches kids play crucial positions that are vital at winning and they’re not very good at it. The catcher in particular. We’ll never win games as long as the coaches kids are in heavy rotation with playing time because they’re not developing. In fact they might be getting worse tbh.
I think she’d have more fun on a team that wins, even if it means playing less(or at least taking a season to work up from new on the team to legitimate playing time) But idk. Travel Ball is a lot of money to start from scratch on a new team. Also I think her development may advance more rapidly as well on a better team, but again idk. My friends say she’s developed more rapidly because I work with her individually on off days but I also believe it’s 50/50 with the coaches for my kids development, not just me/parents. What makes me question the coaching abilities are, if you can’t develop your own kid, are you really helping that much with developing mine?
Why move is she’s playing and developing at a rate I’m happy with? Grass isn’t always greener. But also could she develop more so on a better team? Would she have fun on another team? So many variables. Anybody else been in a similar situation, if so how did it play out?
