[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea what a school you are posting about, so don’t worry about that.  There are kids depressed and disappointed in every school everywhere over cuts.  It doesn’t minimize what your kid is going through, and I’m really sorry.

As we told ours, who is our youngest, so much of this is political.  She made a team but is so depressed because she’s one of the only club players on freshman.  Less experienced girls made JV.

It’s been miserable in our house and her older siblings and us have been saying this is how it goes and don’t play sports if you can’t handle it.  (In a nicer way).  Some of them dropped theirs for this reason, club and HS.  It was not fun anymore and this got worse as they got older.

I’d try to get her involved in something else.  But yes, get her help if you think this is actually clinical depression.  [/quote]

Based on the story, I don't think this is similar to what happens in other schools. I never heard of a player being cut during tryouts, then making it on the roster. Even politics considered, this looks really bad. If you want a player on the team, you bring them back to each day of tryouts, while pretending that she had the skills to start with. But it stinks of really bad politics if the player gets cut early in the tryouts, then she turns out on the roster. Especially when other players (including OP's DD) were cut later in the process.

I read that but figured they didn’t have the entire story.  Maybe she wasn’t really cut and OP’s kid just thought she was. [/quote]
