Why is it that some teams are always looking for 1 or 2 and yet others never post for tryouts? Curious as to how the teams that keep a group of girls together and are always competitive do it. Only a few that I know of do it.

The key word is "competitive". Travel ball teams are created for many different reasons: On one end you have the teams that play just for fun, in the middle you have teams put together to enhance a particular high school program, and on the other end you have teams put together to achieve maximum potential of truly great players. The teams that have the most roster changes year after year in the younger ages are the less competitive teams. Playing just for fun isn't much fun when you get beaten on a regular basis. The key is putting together a group of girls with God given talent that are not afraid to put in extra work and have parents that are willing to do what ever it takes. On the top teams the kids compete everyday at practice and at every game because they want too. They don't change teams much because they worked too hard to get there. Less work equals less dedication which equals un-tapped potential which in turn usually equals getting left behind. You see more burnout on fun teams than you do on competitive teams.

I 100% agree with you! Playing for fun is what league/Rec ball is all about.IMO |

i think at the 8u level it all about getting players. if a team has 7 and 8 year olds on it. The 8 year old moves up to 10u when they turn 9. the team is then separated. i think coaches should not do this to form a team that cant stay together. on the other hand cant blame them, not enough players in the same area the same age to form a team. where else would they play. unless some trading between teams could happen.
