practice and be coached at practice by him since my daughter just turned 14 but that is the norm with these "national" teams. The kids are spread out all over and probably only practice a couple of times a season if at all, which is also what the team we are on now does. We do practice with a local team from time to time that is run by some high school and small college coaches as well as do private lessons pitching, hitting, and defense. There just aren't many good teams and/or coaches in our area at 14U within distance that we can practice with often.
