[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, so very sorry to hear what these girls did to your daughter. This is bullying.

You need to write an email to all parents and the coach.  Please write about how shocked and devastated your daughter was, how this is bullying, how she will continue to be on the team if she wants to, how you think the coach and parents need to intervene to build up the team and not tolerate the mean behavior.

End by saying - you are there to support your daughter because she is the one who was wronged and devastated. You are watching carefully to see what the steps the coach and parents will take to make you decide if you and your daughter are a part of this community or not.

DO  NOT include any parents until you have spoken to the coach and principal yourself.

Those parents will cluster to protect their children from consequences and the easiest way to do that is to paint your daughter as mistaken or unreliable. Don’t give them a heads up until you have a firm plan in place with the coaches. Also, if you alert the parents they will coach their daughters on what to say so they don’t get in trouble. The best way to get to the truth is for the coach to talk to each girl  individually.

Don’t show your hand to people who only stand to lose by this coming out. [/quote]
