[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot depends on circumstances.

Just like a class at school, being on a school team carries the commitment of showing up.  The rules for what happens if and when you don’t show up are made in consultation with the athletic director, and other coaches.

Generally the rule has to be “show up for everything or else there will be consequences”.  Just like Math class - you can miss if you are sick, and just like Math class you need to have a good excuse and communicate it appropriately.  Yes - even if the reason is “good”, there can be consequences.  The coach will take into consideration what was involved, and what was missed, and the balance of having a player miss practice or a game, and playing them?  Starting them?  Effect on the other players?

Obviously, if player A misses 2 practices before a game - even for a good reason - if player A has no consequences for doing so - how will players B,C and D react?  What is fair to them?  What lessons are being learned?

This exactly. OP, the tutoring session should not have been scheduled over soccer practice. Soccer practice is a team sport. It should have been scheduled for another time. Since tutor canceled, it was up to them to accommodate. Your daughter shouldn’t have told coach over group text. Coach shouldn’t have responded over group text.

Expect if you escalate, rather than take this as a life lesson, your daughter will be downgraded as a player unofficially (less playing time, maybe cut next season) and you’ll be labeled the difficult mom.
