I got this,..

Situation: Dominant Pitcher looking for new team one tournament (6 games) into Summer season for reasons related to coaching style that’s become ineffective as her skills have accelerated. She’s played on the same team since starting PGF 5 seasons ago. The team is perennially poor performing, and it’s clear she’s one of a limited number of players who practices regularly on their own. The team averages more errors than any other team, and pitcher routinely needs to deliver 5-6 outs in an inning due to failures by defense and coaches. Question I could use advice with: She is exploring other teams to join - one highly competitive 18u team has a varsity high school teammate on it who told her that their ace is out for the summer due to an injury. Would it be reasonable to talk with the coach of the new team about the idea of this player joining his team for the summer - at no charge since she’s already dropped $3k for the summer season with her bad news bears team? Idea being she’d leave one team to join the other and the money would be a wash. Plus she’d be a part of the team for Fall and beyond - going into her sophomore year. Another question: Would it be more valuable for her to leave the bad team, be a guest player for teams she’s looking at potentially joining like the aforementioned one, and take private lessons 3-4x week? Thank you!
