How much playing time will your DD get on a roster of 20? Oh yes, they might have a fine lineup of D1 and D2 girls but 11 are on the bench this game. But they can get a Fresh one to go into the next game! and lets see, um, 5 pitchers? FIVE?
But hey... Everyone has their own prioroities. If you leave the org, yes, therell be Hell to pay. Smiling to your face but bad mouthing the DD and parents through the grapevine. But it doesnt last. Couple of months later a different Glory coach will be calling saying he has a different flavor, just come try it. "Its not what you know, Its WHO you know" is very true. But I know the girls whose Glory exposure got them riding a bench at college. And others that left for a different school their Sophomore year. I personally think that their 65% playing time left them a little sluggish.
What teams are you talking about? Shelton has 16, Adkins has 14. That will all change after Premier and Gold Nationals, but 20? Seriously? I know both teams well and neither has had 20. When were you there? My kid apparently missed those years.
