here's the scenario
12u player leaves her travel ball team 4 months before pgf Nationals. Happens to be a pitcher.
the coach of the team she left
would not release the player off her roster even though their team did not already have a birth to Nationals. then same team even upon trying to qualify for Nationals did not qualify, and still would not release player. as pgf is so magical about handing out freebies at the last minute the said team received a free birth to pgf Nationals.
about one month prior to the old team getting the free birth the player did
make an appeal to pgf to let her play on her new team and they denied her appeal.
if the team had not qualified for Nationals and they didn't she would have been able to pitch on her new team that did earn a birth. for one week there was excitement that she was going to be able to pitch on her new team. Then they found out her old team is now going to pgf Nationals so she cannot play.
what's the consensus on this scenario and releasing a player in 12u?
imo, -player Left 4 months ago,
this is 12u,
they asked several months ago to be released. should have released the player.
