[quote=Anonymous]DD is a sophomore, plays middle/right side, has played VB for about 18 months (rec then entry level club) and made our JV team.  They took 16 and are heavy with hitters.  Big school, more than 100 tried out for V/JV/Freshman teams.

After a scrimmage where she rode the bench for most of the evening, DD asked the coach what she could work on to better help the team.  He said primarily hitting.  Today after practice the coach pulled DD and some players aside, and asked for one of them to mentor her on her hitting.

She came home a little upset, mainly out of embarrassment that another kid was essentially being made to tutor her.  We had the talk about soaking up all the knowledge from anywhere you can get it, seeing it as a positive of not being written off, etc.

All of that said - I’ve never experienced this personally but we are new to VB.  Is this common?  The coach is new and there is no asst coach, so I understand that bandwidth is limited with this big a roster.  But then again I’ve never seen instruction duty being pushed off to another student.
