[quote=Anonymous]OP, not sure if you're still reading this after 6 pages, but I would let her try out. For a few reasons. 1. You never know. Our small, private HS had so many girls try out one year that they added a freshman team. No one knew ahead of time that they were going to do that. 2. I totally understand wanting to save her the embarrassment, but as some wise PPs wrote, while it's painful at the time (for both of you!), it is a good learning experience. It really is better to learn how to deal with disappointment at this age, and keep on keeping on, than to sail through to college/young adulthood and experience it for the first time. If she doesn't make the team, please consider a rec volleyball team for her to have fun, learn skills, and maybe try out again next year if she wants. Best wishes to you and DD![/quote]
