New 16U team, college coaching, need pitching

[16ugm]

new team getting away from Dads coaching. Went for and found college coach, and an indoor practice facility so we can start getting our girls ready for HS ball right after New Year's. Coach is recent college player, still works with college team. We want to bring higher level instruction to give our girls an advantage in HS and travel. Expect 10 tournaments in spring /summer 2013.
We've hand picked 9 players. 5 openings, need to add pitching depth. practices will be in jarrettsville, shrewsbury, and york pa. workout scheduled for 9/22 in shrewsbury from 9-11. not looking for all the best players, but the right ones. want skilled, hard working, team players. looking for cameraderie in players and parents. please contact through this forum if interested.

Mr. 16ugm, what kind of "goofball" post was this one. So you are forming a new team. I get that. What I don't get is that you are offering a higher level of instruction. Higher than what or whom? You are looking for camaraderie in parents and players. Do you have a test that you give to determine that? Is it like the Rorschach ink blot test? You are not looking for the best players. Hell that is the easiest task in softball. Anybody can find the bums. So let's see, you are trying to get away from Daddy ball. Who are you in this equation? Creepy Uncle Johnny? A friend of the family? I don't think this ship will sail, partner.

If I were to start a new team I think I'd make sure I had enough pitching lined up out of the chute...JMO

16U GM? So you - General Manager Geppetto - and your dissatisfied parent friends "hand picked" 9 players (your DD's) and then propped up Coach Pinocchio as the the face of the franchise to fill the rest of the roster through tryouts........but this isn't Daddy ball? Really?

Like the others have said, next time secure your pitching first and then don't be afraid to call it what it is....

A real non-parent coached team is started by the non-parent coach. And by the way they are out there - at this age group even - but you would actually have to let your Darling Daughters try out for the team.
