[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow.  This is a HOF post from a sports-parent.

The only other option is another team.

"all her friends are on the other team" is unfortunately, not a good enough reason to move up levels.[/quote]

Hard agree.

OP, in two separate posts, you’ve argued that your daughter should be moved to the other team because all her friends got moved.

This makes me think that what you (and your daughter?) are really worried about is saving face in front of the other kids and parents. If so,
I gotta tell you that whatever the sport, the other players and their families are acutely aware of the hierarchy of skill/technique/drive/whatever marker within the group. This doesn’t mean they don’t like you/your daughter as people. But your family is probably the only ones who were surprised by the recent reshuffling.

Let it go. If you have any further contact with your kid’s coach, let it only be to give them a heads-up that you suggested your daughter talk with Coach one-on-one to ask what things she should be focusing on this fall. [/quote]
