[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it's any consolation, my daughter made the team and is really struggling. The coach is giving her outdated advice that contradicts what her club coaches have been teaching, and vacillates between praising kids and totally belittling them. She says that she will never play for this coach again.[/quote]

DP and giving another perspective because we had another night of tears.  My daughter made the team too and had another night on the bench.  She’s feeling like this is so much time, they are not getting any coaching at practice and then she’s not seeing time in matches.  She knows she should be happy she’s on a time and keeping a good attitude there but letting it all out at home since she’s exhausted and feels like this is a waste of time.  She’s looking ahead to weekend clinics for club. [/quote]

We are in the exact same situation. DD made the JV, but she is riding the bench. The only positive I see is the daily practice, where she is with a group of great players and gets quality touches. These quality touches are hard to get elsewhere this time of the year (the best of the best are playing HS volleyball). The best of all, you stay in that social circle all for free. Even from the perspective of a benched player, I can see the OP's frustration about her DD being cut and this opportunity being offered to a weaker player. [/quote]
