[quote=Anonymous]My daughter is one of the youngest in her team and was new last year.

She has similar questions though not quite as severe as what you are describing.

I told her to follow the instructions of the coaches and captains but to consider instructions from other girls that were not captains as just advisory only (and ignore especially if it conflicted with coaching).  But also to not complain and just play on, since in the long run respect was earned through great play, and so if she did well she would naturally start getting more touches over time.

Incidentally the coach started telling some other girls they needed to look to her near the goal… with no prompting from her (let alone me), just his observation.

Anyways it’s all working out.  She is still more generous to her teammates around the goal etc. than some are to her but she gets her chances and contributes and the team is playing well together.

That’s long winded but basically chill out and play through it.[/quote]
