You know you are on a "B" team when....
Nationals events are chosen for -
1) their location near a large body of water or amusement park (or mountains to go skiing/river rafting, you get it)
2) the most important thing about the condos, hotels, etc you stay in is the pool and spa facilities
3) parents argue over whether to stay home from "nationals" now that the oil spill has ruined the beach
Other favorites -
1) Parents don't want to "travel" to tournaments. This includes anything over 15 minutes from their house.
2) Parents were unwilling to get up and bring their daughter for an 8am game because "it was a pool game and that is a little too early on a Saturday" leaving their team short
3) Parents spend more money on bows and cute t-shirts at the tournaments than they do on lessons.
4) Parents expect their DD to get better at 2 - 2 hour practices a week but never pick up a softball in between. Then blame the coach when they can't hit a softball (or field one).
