| A travesty occurred In Cedar Park this weekend. A very good MV All-Star team will not be going to Nationals despite a third place finish at Sectionals because of a parent vote split 6-6. So to all who voted “no”, an explanation is necessary. TOO FAR? -You knew Nationals was in LA when you signed the commitment form. TOO EXPENSIVE? -It was explained to you that playing All-Stars was costly upfront. NO TIME OFF? -You knew the dates of all tournaments beforehand. UPSET AT YOUR DAUGHTERS PLAYING TIME? -You knew that 12 players would be filling 10 spots. COACH NOT FAIR? –The Head Coach has autonomy to make those decisions. NOT OBLIGATED TO GO?-You were not obligated to sign your daughter up for All-Stars. NOT GOING TO WIN NATIONALS-The fourth place sectional team WON nationals last year.
So the outcome for those voting “no”- (besides the obvious disappointment of the players)? To the three Coaches -DON’T draft my daughter, we will never play for you! To the two board members – you have placed MVYBA in the worst possible light, and you will not get any more support or money from me! To the other parents-despite any reasoning you had, you did not honor your commitment to this team. Don’t sign your kid up anymore!
Several of the parents signed up their daughters knowing full well that they were not going to Nationals DESPITE the order of the places at Sectionals, and a bunch of others were praying that we would not make it that far. So shame on all six of you for not fully supporting this team!
