[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Follow up on this.  I've taken notes from practices and some video of both my kid and the others.  I'm still not getting anywhere with the team.  Daughter does not want to switch clubs.  Has anyone successfully litigated this type of situation?[/quote]
Litigated? What would the cause of action be? What are the damages?  Do you know how long litigation takes? And even if you sued and won (which isn't happening) and a court issued some kind of order that forced the club to put your DD on the team, how do you think that would be received by the coach and the other players/families?

I really hope this is someone trolling...[/quote]

The kid is upset to tears that she is not on the team she deserves.   It is making her anxious.   Should I not try everything to get this corrected?  This is traumatic and damaging to her well-being. [/quote]
I understand the desire to protect our kids, but learning to handle disappointment is a part of growing up and one of the lessons kids learn from playing sports.  It's normal for a kid to cry or be upset when they don't make a team that they really wanted to be on - it's painful as a parent to watch your kid go through that, but it is isn't a problem that you can solve. So no, I don't think you should try everything to get this corrected, because it was a judgement call by the coach. Just because you don't agree, doesn't make it wrong. I think you need to help your DD cope with the disappointment and encourage her to work hard to get better on the team she did make, or move on to a different club.[/quote]
