    Confusing Situation With Senior Daughter Not Getting Playing Time On HS Team

    I think what is happening in our situation is that the HC either doesn't know how to communicate with the players or is refusing to. I agree that the "work harder" is definitely a cop out in most cases. My DD has done everything she can possibly do at this point, kept her chin up, worked hard in...

    Confusing Situation With Senior Daughter Not Getting Playing Time On HS Team

    I'm curious to know about your second comment. Would you approach the parents to ask about an injury or even discuss it? In my DD's situation the HC has never discussed her injury with us or even bothered to make a positive (or negative) comment about it - "Glad to see her at practice again"...

    Confusing Situation With Senior Daughter Not Getting Playing Time On HS Team

    You know my argument is not so much with the AD's daughter but more with the HC. Apparently, it appears that we have a vendetta against the AD's daughter but my point was to provide enough information for someone here to give an opinion or share a similar experience. There's more to it but...

    Confusing Situation With Senior Daughter Not Getting Playing Time On HS Team

    I know what you are saying as I have see that it smaller schools. We are not that small and one to three players coming in from another sport doesn’t make that much difference from what I’ve seen here. It just doesn’t make sense to me. How can a player just jump into the other sport time after...

    Confusing Situation With Senior Daughter Not Getting Playing Time On HS Team

    We could possibly be related through softball based on your situation. It’s unreal how similar it sounds. Someone did mention on here that because of the I jury that maybe they didn’t want to invest time in a senior. I disagree with that. The hard work my DD put in to get healthy and past...

    Confusing Situation With Senior Daughter Not Getting Playing Time On HS Team

    My DD has played a little bit in LF and CF when she has been in. Same for the AD’s daughter but primarily CF. My daughter primarily played CF last year like I said in my OP and earned all district 1st team honors. The AD’s daughter primarily played LF last year when she was in, earning 2nd team...

    Confusing Situation With Senior Daughter Not Getting Playing Time On HS Team

    I like your recommendation. I know it wouldn't hurt anything with that approach but I believe the HC has made up her mind. In fact, my DD told the HC this same thing prior to me visiting with the HC. My DD kept the HC informed of how rehab was going, when she could return, when she could...

    Confusing Situation With Senior Daughter Not Getting Playing Time On HS Team

    I get what your saying with your theory. Just a thought, how do you reward a player who has practiced about a month and ten days if you added all up as compared to a player who has played almost year round, was in offseason softball and but missed a month before being back to her usual self...

    Confusing Situation With Senior Daughter Not Getting Playing Time On HS Team

    The HC was hired last summer and attended some of the travel ball games we played locally and she also was present when the high school girls played a short "fun league." I know she was not there to just watch my daughter but was there to see other players on that team who play on the HS team...

    Confusing Situation With Senior Daughter Not Getting Playing Time On HS Team

    A wrong choice in words I suppose. It's not that she is being punished but how she is being treated. Whether she talked to the HC or if my DD did, the situation was not going to change one way or another.

    Confusing Situation With Senior Daughter Not Getting Playing Time On HS Team

    Quitting is definitely not an option that she will pursue. She has learned the life lessons that sports can provide but this lesson seems to be the toughest, a life lesson for sure.

    Confusing Situation With Senior Daughter Not Getting Playing Time On HS Team

    MY DD will definitely stick with it. Quitting is really not an option she wishes to pursue. She does enjoy the camaraderie no doubt but doesn't it seem that you get treated a little different when all of the sudden your sitting on the bench for no apparent reason. Maybe things will change a bit...

    Confusing Situation With Senior Daughter Not Getting Playing Time On HS Team

    I don't really have anything against the coaches who have rules about parents talking to them about certain things. Yes, my daughter could have talked to the coach as well but would it have changed anything. My guess is that it wouldn't. I believe she would have received the same used up lines -...

    Confusing Situation With Senior Daughter Not Getting Playing Time On HS Team

    I knew beforehand that I shouldn't have talked to the coach but I was getting disgusted with the situation. I don't think I hurt her situation because it was apparently in motion anyway. She's a senior and it wasn't going to make a difference one way or another. The argument if you want to call...
