[quote=Anonymous]“Mean girls” vary across whatever sport and may not be applicable to your specific team. I coached a volleyball team that had girls from 5 middle schools. The 2 “mean girls” were from the same school, none from the other 4. Yes, coaches play the biggest role in team politics and while playing club is a big factor in player perception, it’s not the end all. My daughter did not make a club team after her freshman HS vb season, and made her JV team as a sophomore because she put in the work with clinics, camps, practices, including showing up at every coach-led green day. If non-club players get in front of coaches to share their story it helps quite a bit. I’ve witnessed deserving girls not make various teams but none would have been starters. I have noticed that work ethic, “coachability”, and athletic upside are some of the intangibles that may lead to one athlete being chosen over another. [/quote]
