Can this Happen?

We've been with the team for only a few months now. The team mom does not have a dd on team neither does the manager. Head coach, yes. For the most part this girl has a good track record for showing up to games, practice, etc. Even extra games to help out teams of same organization.

My daughter overheard the conversation with a another girl on team. Mom of this dd was legitimately mad of course.

This is 16U TB, right? If the team staff isn't there to help the girls find a path to play college ball (for those who want that), they shouldn't be involved with a team at this level.

I'm not sure if they have a relationship with this college or not.

If a statement like this cost this young lady a scholarship and it is document, be prepared for a huge lawsuit. That team mom is giving an opinion and had better be able to quantify that response in numerous ways or get ready to write out a big check.

Also, you can bet that my daughter would have already played her last game for this team.

I am guessing this team mom is like 90% of the others out there who have no idea how it all works or she overheard a little something between some coaches talking and decided to flap her gums. College coaches aren't going to react to a random email from a "team mom" who is what exactly? The one who books hotels, orders uniforms, coordinates team cookouts etc?

If a coach or any official member of an organization called, emailed, texted, etc... a college coach of a school where one of their girls is committed to make negative comments about that player without first talking to that player and her parents that organization won't be around for very long. A competent coaching staff would address the issue with the player long before airing dirty laundry to the college coach.

If I would get involved, it sounds like you like player, I would send a letter stating what a good person she is. I would not reference other parent at all.

Unless you are the head coach of the team stay way the heck out of this thing. The mad mom of the sick kid is the person who should address it with the head coach.

yea probably just going to let the mom of this kid deal with it on her personal level. For all we know it could just be gossip.....

THIS!! ^^^

It seems to me that having a player on your team committing to play college ball is a reason to celebrate. Based on the information presented, it sounds like she might have the wrong attitude for someone in any kind of team leadership role. Is the team mom envious that another kid committed and hers didn't?

First thing that came to mind as well.....jealousy on team mom's part. And how irrational do you have to be that you would even think about ruining a kid's college commitment because she is missing a weekend of ball?

You’d think that the team Mom would consider the best interest of the entire team and not want to risk every kid getting sick.
That being said if this woman would even consider jeopardizing a child’s future over something so petty she probably shouldn’t be the team mom.
