[quote=Anonymous]We had a very similar experience with a family whose DD had played soccer with ours for years. Her DD was a starter on both the club soccer team and in HS, and they clearly considered her a star. She was a good player, but the club team was mid-level at best. Our DDs and a couple of others switched teams one year. Competitive family’s DD missed the first few games and a tournament due to HS soccer conflicts. The coach of the new team didn’t start her or give her more than the minimum playing time, I’m sure because she’d missed the first part of the season, while the other three girls all started. The parents were angry after the first game she played, enraged after the second, and hit full-on lunacy after the third. They yanked their DD from the team, sent incredibly rude emails to the coach and team manager, and trashed the team to everyone they met. They had always seemed nice before that, but I think the fact that girls they considered inferior to their DD were starting over her was too much for their egos to bear. [/quote]
