Am I missing something? They were still playing this last weekend.

I have heard that the coach is moving to the Comets for the spring, but I have no idea if the core of the team is going with him or if he's even staying in the same age group.

Teams lose players ALL THE time for various reasons.


1) kid wants to play a position that coach thinks said player is not suited for.
2) Kid wants more pitching time.
3) Kid wants more playing time.
4) Kid wants more playing time.
5) Kid wants more playing time.
6) Fees to expensive
7) They dont like the color of the uniforms.
8)The coach doesn't know what they are doing. (Parent could help out said coach Im sure)
9) Kid wants more playing time.
10) Kid wants more playing time
11) kid wants more pitching time.

Who knows the reason, but it happens.


Losing players is not always bad.

It is not a big deal, teams add players, teams lose players, and the softball world continues on as it always has. Nothing new.

8)The coach doesn't know what they are doing. (Parent could help out said coach Im sure)

I think this is one you might have broken into a few different models:
1) The team is not competitive.
2) The coach is better than you, but not better than other coaches
3) The coach is not a good personality fit for your kid.
4) The coach doesn't know what they're doing.
4a) The coach knows what they're doing on a baseball field, but not a softball field. They spend endless practice hours on 400 foot, 3 throw outfield relay/cutoff plays and 6-4-3 double plays, but never bother to go over bunt or slap coverages.

I agree that girls leave every season, and in a healthy team that's getting better, dropping the bottom 2 or 3 on your roster and added 2 or 3 at the top is a pretty normal cycle. Sometimes a kid will improve more quickly than the team she's on, and sometimes the team gets better and a player who was a core team member can't keep up.

Bad post by me. I apologize! My DD had a terrible experience with head of the comets team and I lost my cool. Will be more civil next time.

Andy Smith plus Kirk Laux = IMPLOSION by May.

Could be the same on the Grapettes St. Dennis

Am I missing something? They were still playing this last weekend.

I have heard that the coach is moving to the Comets for the spring, but I have no idea if the core of the team is going with him or if he's even staying in the same age group.

The head coach partnered up with Kirk Laux and Britney Ceo. Andy will be an assistant on Kirk's staff. My daughter played on the Hype 97. I can see why Andy made the move as the knowledge on the new coaching and the resources of the Comets outweigh what the Hype are providing. There's a woman coach as well. They have colleges listed on their website. It works better for his daughter and himself. He has the right to make that call and I respect it 100%.

The problem I have is nobody is guaranteed a spot on the new Comets team. We don't know who's coming or going and it appears most of the parents will be taking their kids to all the upcoming tryouts. We were heavily encouraged to try out for the new team, but what I know is the Comets have essentially 3 14U teams already. Loomis' 16U team is mostly a 2015 group as well as the 2 14U teams.

Now this is what is going to happen. The pitching will move on. There are elite teams out there where the pitcher's on the staff can and will fit in. Between now and Dec 3rd & 4th is a long time to wait for a team where you don't know who's going to be on it.

WB, agreed, it will be interesting how many players come back to them. Heard TC is going AASA. Sure to be a lot of heads turned. Play is better overall on 14's but drama way less in 16's. TC and Breeze sure looked good on Sunday.

They have colleges listed on their website!!!??? Is that the best you can do?? You will fit perfectly into the Comet Org. I'm moving my daughter there for sure now. She is guaranteed a full ride if they have colleges on their website, right??? Can I just pick one??? If you read, those are colleges supposedly watching the Comets. And I use that term lightly!!!!LOL. Good luck!!
