[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would cut her and sleep like a baby. Everyone has stuff they are going through. If there is a standard and she doesn't meet it then she should be cut. If there is some discretion then you can be kind. But it's fine if the kid gets cut. Sometimes you get dealt a bad hand.

Yeah. It's not ok to make everyone suffer to make one person who sounds toxic and disruptive, to avoid facing reality. Cutting her from the team is not killing her. So coach should do what is best for the team.[/quote]

Make everyone suffer?   These are not a bunch of Michael Jordans.    They are 11 year olds guaranteed that most of them play like 11 year olds.  So dramatic.   [/quote]

tbh, this a good point of clarification.

OP says its a competitive team.  Many posters are reacting as if its rec.

Bc at 11, on a competitive travel team, there are going to be VERY talented players.  If its a good team, they won't be playing like 11 year olds.  They could be playing good enough to beat some JV HS teams.

That matters.  Bc if you add the girl, and she just sucks for 4 months, that's not much of a kindness[/quote]

It's not a competitive team, it's a team coached by dad (so at least one of the players is there due to nepotism) who thinks he is going to turn it into a competitive team this year. There are some adults with big egos that are turning kids sports into toxic environments.[/quote]

The wives with Ivy recruitment fantasies for their DC are the worst. [/quote]
