Which Team Are You On?

My youngest is in a little bit of a difficult situation at the moment. She played as a guest for a pretty prestigious team this past weekend and being surrounded by other good players seemed to bring out the best in her. The rest of the girls on her current team were really excited for her getting the chance to play with one of the big clubs and I think her coach thought that he must be doing something right to have one of his players invited to play with them. She was hoping that maybe she could tryout for this team in the summer but then her current coach said he’d be glad to sign a release for her if the big club wanted her now as he thought it was a great opportunity. That was music to the ears of the big club’s coach who has been on the lookout for a strong left sided player and he just happens to be the ODP coach for her age group so he’s a great guy to have on your side. The rest of the parents on the current team are sad to see her go but are pleased that it frees up more field time for some of the fringe players on our team and it shows the rest of the kids that it can be done. So where’s the problem? Well her dad (aka Attilla The Hun) has a hard and fast mindset that only liberal quitters leave a team in mid season and says he’s going to “teach her the meaning of the word commitment”.
