[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Mine is young enough that down a level is instructional/rec…. I hope my DD will one day see that she doesn’t have to have a talent to be special and worthy. [/quote] YOU are the problem, not your daughter’s coaches. You say you want her to feel special even if she’s not talented at her sport, and yet you disparage the rec level which would be a perfect fit for her enthusiasm and ability. There is nothing wrong with rec play. In fact, in a situation like this (kid who loves the sport but is feeling down because they aren’t getting playing time on a competitive earn-your-spot team), it’s the perfect solution. And it comes with lower costs and more time — time she can use to find other passions in addition to her sport. Insisting that her coaches don’t like her or don’t see her as worthy is not the way to go. [/quote]
