[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m confused. Is it a school team or a club team?[/quote]

It's right there... right there in the first sentence.  Right there! All  you had to do was read it:

"My daughter is trying out for a [b]high school[/b][u] sports team ------

Come on! You scare me that this is something that confused you!

Calm down.  I think a lot of people are confused about the mechanics of  a high school [b]club[/b] sports team.

Unless your family is involved in a sport like hockey, crew or a few other sports, you probably haven't encountered this kind of hybrid.  It is usually sports that require a pretty high expense/capital commitment so parents step up to help organize and fundraise/contribute extra.

I am surprised that a coach would risk putting any of this in an email rather than meet with the kid in person.  In my experience, coaches actually don't play favorites with big donors or otherwise "involved" parents if a kid is clearly an inferior player - more than anything coaches want to win.  I think there is more going on here.

I actually think the coach did her a favor in some ways to be upfront about playing time etc. so she can decide if it is worth it to stick with it.

Was it OP who mentioned the weird quotes about fundraising or others making those up?[/quote]
