Softball Player Help NEEDED?

I actually just quit my school team a couple of days ago. I have played softball for 12 years of my life, eight of those being travel. I've started on my travel team for 8 years straight. Then I tried out for varsity softball at my highschool. I barely made it and sat the bench my entire sophomore year. I figured it was since I was an underclassmen and tried out this year as a junior. I hit well in practice, worked so hard, and played maybe 10 innings total out of 25+ games. I was going to miss a sectional game for a travel tournament, so they told me if I did, I should just hand in my uniform. I told them I didn't do anything the whole season and they told me I did plenty. I literally was a pinch runner (I am not fast at all...) so I told them I was leaving. They told me I would have started if I had went to a game that I had missed (I was sick... and it was a scrimmage..) which I thought was bull. My dad was freaking that they gave me an ultimatum. I really love not having to work hard for no reward. There's some summer leagues that offer fundraising options for you to be able to play. We do hot dog sales, candy bar sales, etc to be able to afford travel. If you find a summer league you really like and the coach wants you, they'll work with you to help you afford it.
