It’s that time of year when players try out for next year’s travel teams, and it genuinely pains me when a young lady doesn’t make a team. Our program works incredibly hard to find coaches willing to sacrifice their time to give these kids an opportunity to experience belonging. Every year it gets harder to find individuals willing to step up, so I want to extend a massive thank you to everyone who is coaching this season.
To the players who didn’t make a team: please don’t give up. Understand that you are brave just for trying out, because only those willing to take a chance ever accomplish anything in life. Use the "no" you received as motivation. Work hard on your skills, build your determination, and come back even stronger next year.
Parents, please help your child understand that we all face a lot of "no's" in life. It hurts. However, what we do moving forward reflects the true strength and character of a player. I respect every single one of you who took a chance, and I truly hope to see you back on the field next year.
