Guys, guys,
We haven't played a game yet. Rode everybody has their own theory on how to run a team and I respect your thinking. But to answer your question we only have 3 pitchers and a 4th that will pitch part time. That includes the pick up. Not sure how everybody's schedule is around here but we play a ton. Not many VTD tournaments but starting late Feb we will be playing just about every weekend so there will be plenty of pitching time to go around so suffice to say I'm not worried about them being ready for Nationals. I actually see it as big plus having her ony team. Again that is my theory. I believe to get better you have to play a lot. You cannot duplicate game speed during practice. Cal teams are already getting ready to play tournaments in a few weeks. If I knew the weather was going to be this great we'd be playing this weekend.
Obviously you don't know me. I know that when we decided to take the pitcher as a pick up that we would get hammered on here but that's just the way things are which really I don't understand but to each his own. I you know ne a little I have had year in and year have parents come up to me and can't daughter work put with your team and I say with a smile sure bring her and maybe the little that we know can rub off or better yet that girl can being something to the table that our girls can learn from or I can learn from. We never stopped learning. So when this pitchers parents mentioned this to me I accepted in a heart beat. My daughter worked out with FC Brashears team last year while visiting Cali and somebody wants work out with us and I am able to do it why not? I don't understand. There's things here that ate bigger us, bigger than a trophy, bigger than a National championship that we are all apart of. One huge thing is the development of these young ladies that love a sport just like I do. I've been blessed to be a coach like they say not a great coach on here but hey the little that I know I would love to pass it on to each and every girl that passes through our program. I have given just about every girl a chance to be on our team that comes to our tryouts and with those same girls we have been fairly successful.
Again I don't understand these questions. You guys can continue to post on here all you want but here is the answer to all your questions. I love the sport and if I could I would not deny any girls playing on my team. Win or lose I want to make sure these girls are ready for softball at the next level or life itself. Because these young ladies is why we put up with all of this. Our daughters future whatever if maybe is bigger than what they do on the softball field.
Remember guys this is just an outlet to enjoy our daughters growing up. The years are flying by and our girls are getting older, lets enjoy them.
