[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Coaches are humans.  Coaches naturally like some players better than others.  Sometimes it's a mismatch in playing style.  Sometimes it is a personality mismatch (some like quiet hard worker and some like vocal volatile).

Your kid might even remind the Coach of someone they played with that they didn't like or had animosity for.

What we learned is you just chalk it up to differences and go try out somewhere else.  You will see if there is a better fit and learn a lot whether it's you/your level or just a mismatch with a coach.

No chats or talks is going to change those inherent biases.[/quote]

This is the correct answer. If the girl keeps making these teams it probably is NOT a skill issue per se. More likely, it is a mismatch based on playing style or temperament, size/physical attributes (or possibly just the positions she plays). Some coaches prefer power over speed, others are the opposite. Some like aggressive kids and are fine with mistakes etc, others like calm steady kids with more careful consistent play. Some teams are know to prioritize offense over defense skills or vice versa. It could be a lot of things. It could also be that coach has know teammates for longer etc and has more confidence in their play than a newer kid. [/quote]
