[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Life is not fair.  Shady crap goes on all the time.  The volleyball coach might be a corrupt and unethical person.  And/or you might not have all the information.

If this is the most unfair thing that happens to your child, you are lucky. She's been given information...this volleyball team coach appears to be shady.  Why would she want to try out again?  If I was her, I'd say something to the athletic director at the school responsible for hiring coaches knowing it might go absolutely nowhere but also knowing that she did the right thing for future players.  And then move on.  Do not try to play for this coach again.  Play club.  Find something else to do.  She didn't do anything wrong.  No shame.  Just move on.  It's fine to feel bad but she's wallowing and obsessing and time will help with that and you also need to help with that.  Frame it as a crappy thing, focus on what you can control, and tell her something good will come from this disappointment that she can't see right now when she fills the time with something else.[/quote]

What is the point of talking to the ahtletic director?  What are they going to do?  Punish the already hard to find high school coaches for picking a less talented player for their bench?[/quote]
Agree about talking to the AD. They are going to take their coach’s side on an issue like this. Imagine the chaos if they forced coaches to make roster changes based on parent complaints. I’m not discounting the OP’s story, but unfortunately this is just one of those life isn’t fair situations. [/quote]
