The parent should have emailed all the parents the information.  It was on the parent who allowed their child to behave that way.  However, I'd find a new team. The coach should know and she is clearly not wanted on that team and continuing is only setting her up for future failure.  [b]That is not a prank.  That is just cruel[/b].[/quote]

This.

It doesn't matter if the parent knew (thought disgusting if they did...but still irrelevant). The point is that the Queen Bee girl(s) decided to exclude your daughter and did it deliberately. And even those who *may* have felt sorry for her were either too afraid of Queen Bee (or happy not to be excluded themselves) to be a good friend/teammate to your daughter.

Whatever the case, they have made it clear that she is not "with" them. So I see no reason why your daughter she have to act as though she is part of the team. Clearly, she is not.

If I were you, I would support her decision to leave the team. If she doesn't want to tell the coach directly, that's too bad. If the coach asks you directly I would honestly answer "she loves the sport, but is not willing to be part of a team where she is deliberately excluded. And I can't blame her for that." Life is too short, OP. If coach needs more details, say "I'm sorry...she asked me not to talk specifics. But I assure you it's not a mystery to the rest of the girls on the team" and leave it at that.[/quote]
