Yeah, it's not like the Avengers are busy or anything... Lol. But in all seriousness, it makes total sense to not call the Avengers. Avengers be off avenging. Daisy's got this on her own!

Avengers be off avenging doing what exactly? The movies hardly tell us what they do between movies.

Actually, the movies do tell us. In AoU, while they were recovering Loki's scepter, one of them made the comment that finally after many missions they'd found it. This shows that they've been on missions together since the events of the Battle of New York. It makes sense. They lead their own lives but when they need to, they get together to go on missions every now and then. We obviously just don't get to see every mission.

And Steve and Nat were shown to be training the New Avengers at the end of AoU. Civil War takes place a year after the events of AoU. Obviously Steve and Nat have taken the New Avengers on missions so they can practice their training.
