I agree that you have to do your homework and go see the teams ahead of the tryouts....do your homework, make sure your DD is the ONLY reason for any decisions you make, and the rest will work out.
good points! thanks for sharing!
How does one go about doing their "homework" on a team at this point?
Does a parent try to find a roster of the team they are trying out for and then match the last names? That will work for relatives maybe but not friends. They would have to find the team's web site, but then there are many teams that do not have a website or do not have rosters. So, then what?
Does a parent start a thread that asks questions about the team they are trying out for?
PGF and ASA Nationals are over. So is the softball season. Can you give information how to do your homework now before tryouts this month?
It is too late. You are destined to make another bad choice.
Next years teams should be started on by June 15, at the latest. By PGF you are just taking a few final looks.
