[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does the friend's son even WANT someone to talk with the coach? I understand OP's friend is trying to navigate the family's loss and probably feels making the team after the fact would be best for her son; but as one poster mentioned, he would probably be embarrassed to know that's how he made the team. There are many wonderful ways to continue supporting the family through their grief, but the ask of OP isn't it. +1 to all the suggestions that the friend's [i]son[/i] talk with the coach. If the coach isn't aware of the family's loss, maybe OP could share what happened before the friend's son talks with the coach.    [/quote]

And when I say for the friend's son to talk with the coach, I agree with many previous posters that he could talk about improving skills, etc. - not about getting a spot on the team![/quote]

I don't think it's op's place to necessarily suggest that though. Sounds like the mom is not really ready and might be worried about the coach hurting son's feelings (which tbh is sort of legitimate because some coaches - most! - are great but some are not). But she should have that conversation with the coach herself or ask a mom whose child has been on the team a while for tips. That's if her son truly even wants to even pursue baseball and not just about her being upset he was rejected for a team sport in general.[/quote]
