[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree, the nationality of the child does not matter. Is there any way for this one girl to be on a different team? It seems that the constraints the parents would like to place on the rest of the team members will make it difficult for the team to work in the way it is meant to. Or, in the alternative, is there another team for your son?

If this is a team effort, it doesn't seem appropriate for one set of parents to set out different rules than the Olympiad rules.

I agree with this poster. This family's rules, regardless of their ethnicity, seem like an undue imposition on the rest of the team.[/quote]

+2. This family's rules are not amenable to their DD participating. It's on them. BTW, I'm Indian-American growing up in the 1970s-80s, and I've never heard of anyone among our ethnic cohort with similar rules. I did see something similar but not so extreme with some very religious families of various religions, and sadly, families with domineering fathers.[/quote]

+3  Not amenable.[/quote]

It's really not about nationality or immigrant status. It sounds as though the OP was asking if this was something the team should make allowances for so as to be respectful of the child's culture. Clearly, it is not part of the child's culture, so the thing to do is talk to the parents and let them know that the child needs to be able to participate without any undue restrictions as to meeting place or presence of coaches. Either you participate under the same rules as all the other members of the team or don't participate at all.
