[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you should do is line up all the girls trying out and get their full personal stories. Because without that, this is a dumb way to make a decision. Being somewhat sarcastic but the point is you don’t know if the kid who you cut to make the spot for this other girl isn’t going through a divorce at home, sexual abuse at home. Anything. This is just a slippery slope. [/quote] Yeah, if you don't cut the 11 yo whose mother just died, yu may find yourself knowing about what happens in the lives of your *other* players and perhaps being kind to them. You might even think of them as middle school kids, and not only as athletes. Where would it end? In related news, you are a sociopath. [/quote] It flew right over your head but pp is right you have no idea what the other girls are going through and how much playing could be a life line for them so if we're going to consider mitigating circumstances for one we should consider it for all. Maybe it's best no one gets cut this year. Why borrow trouble. I seriously doubt ops husband has to narrow it down to only x amount. There are always bench riders[/quote]
