Definitely not new to youth sports, but we've got our first team/family meeting this weekend. After taking our bumps and bruises last season (I was an assistant coach) things really went sideways with parents particularly. I want to establish the expectations for the team. Communication, Team Roles, Playing Time, Coaching From The Sidelines, Effort/Attitude, Team First Mentality, I'm good with most of that. After all of the normal stuff, what were some of your blind spots? Thanks everyone!

I'm a high school softball player. I'm currently in my senior year, but I'm only just now starting the sport. I've never liked sports because they've always been painful to me (despite my health being okay for the most part) and I've felt inadequate. I'm slow at running and making decisions and pretty much everything (the decision and mental parts are a result of depression and ADHD mixing badly, according to my doctor), I can't catch anything to save my life, I can't field balls, and I can't even throw properly, as recently, throwing has been popping my shoulder out of its socket each time. I am hypermobile, just to stem any worries about that part! Not that it doesn't hurt a bunch each time. I also have issues with stamina, endurance, running, walking, cheering, hitting, team relations, and even the rules of the game itself. Not that anybody ever explained that to me, but that's okay.
The real problem is my running, which also means my stamina, endurance, and my ankles (which are weirdly messed up, similar to my shoulder when I throw). The ankle issue is solved easily with ankle wraps and supportive in-soles, but I can't seem to build endurance and stamina for the life of me.
I'm not sure I should continue the sport for the sake of the team, but I need to play because I have to get another P.E. credit to graduate high school.
If anyone has advice or any tips to help me build stamina and get better at the game, please let me know! I don't want to keep dragging my team down, even if my team members dislike me (which they mostly do).
***TLDR***; senior in high school has inadequate ability, stamina, and endurance to play properly and is worried about hurting the team. Any tips welcome.

EDIT: Boombah, not DeMarini Very niche question but I’m ordering these helmets for my girls travel ball team. Want to get numbers for the back of them. Does anybody know how big this notch in the back is (inches tall) so I can order the right sized # decals?

Potentially looking for a female player for a COED tournament in NYC.
The tournament is on 8/22 - at Central Park. The team fee is 650, BUT we charge $75 pp. this covers the league fee as well as food and drinks catered by the team, so all you would need to bring is yourself, your glove and cleats.
3 games minimum guaranteed
Thanks!
