My daughter tried out for a travel team today. We as parents were told they they would not select anyone until after the next tryout. Got close to home and got a text from the coach wanting a verbal commitment by Tuesday. So the problem is, Austin is trying out for another team that is closer in a couple weeks so we don’t want to commit just yet. If I tell them that we have another tryout and want to wait, would you as a coach or parent that’s been in this situation pass on her as a player? We have never been in this situation and don’t really know how to handle it.

Just text him and tell him you'll need more time. It will all work out for the best.

Age group?
Her position? How’s her hitting ability? Base running speed ?
Obviously if she’s a good pitcher/catcher, has an above average bat or speed that makes her a valuable commodity.

To answer your question, if I were a coach, I’d pass. Just being honest.

To answer your question, if I were a coach, I’d pass. Just being honest. Me too if I hadn't lied to the parents about selection being after the next tryouts. As a parent I wouldn't let my kid play for them after he broke his first statement to parents. Early signs of drama to me.

How does this team fit what SHE wants ? Coached by dads or others ? Local or exposure tournaments ? How does this team compare to the other in that regard?

From a former high school coach : I would be up front with the first team coach, travel ball can have way too much travel to it . If they saw something they liked in her they will wait on your decision. If not, she probably would be better off with the second team. My 2 cents This right here. Biggest thing is let her decide. She's the one doing the most work and has to be happy and having fun. My granddaughter could be on some bigger better teams but she loves the girls she plays with and they don't have drama as a team and the parents haven't had any drama.

It’s just hard to commit to a team 45 minutes away when she may make the team 15 minutes away.
