[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter’s club team for a different sport had this rule too.  3 missed practices (not excused sick) and you were off the team.  It seems pretty typical once you get to a high level of play.  And this was just at the middle school age but well beyond rec.  [/quote]

High school sports is not a high level of play, in the grand scheme of life. These kids don't have multi-million dollar contracts to uphold. Yes, accountability and responsibility are important, but so are grace and human development.[/quote]

My mother, DD’s grandmother, feels this way and is obviously not into sports and doesn’t understand why she can’t miss practice.  I explain it to her as if it’s a rehearsal and they are rehearsing for a big theater production. Everyone plays a part and it takes practice to perfect it and get it right.  If this was a musical, you would understand why she couldn’t just not show up to rehearsal sometimes before performances unless she was sick. She would need to practice with the others to make they all worked together to get it right.  Same thing.  [/quote]
