[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Playing time isn’t guaranteed[/b]. No chance your contract speaks to that.

Has your daughter asked her coach for feedback? “What can I work on to show you I’m ready to play?”

Mom and Dad shouldn’t be involved. Players talk to coaches. [/quote]

Stop with this non-sense. This might be true for a competitive / travel team. You know exactly what you are getting into when you decide to be #15 on the Metro Travel roster. The OP clearly stated that this is not their case, plus this is their first year of club volleyball. All players should see the court on developmental teams. It is not fair for families to pay club fees to have their kid ride the bench as part of non-competitive teams. The club director or the coach should have had a discussion with the player and their family, explaining what to expect before signing the contract. If the club director / coach didn't have such discussion, they have the responsibility to offer court time to that player. During tryouts, it is their responsibility to place on the roster only players who can see the court. Stop blaming the the players and their families for not being able to foresee the level of the other players on the roster. [/quote]

Huh? Players should still lead convos with coaches on developmental teams. It’s an important skill for them to learn! “What can I work on?” isn’t a wild or hard question. [/quote]
