    Coach place on admin leave ...

    Yep you are correct, but this is DDs sophomore year and coach's 2nd season. I hope it is something that is easily resolved! I have a feeling it might have to do with there being so many players and some of the freshman brought in did not dress or participate in any fall scrimmages. Sent from...

    Coach place on admin leave ...

    Well I agree but she doesn't want to talk about it. Its also possible she doesn't know bc the other girls know she is close with the coach. They were just told hes on leave but I agree im sure at least some if the team is aware. Sent from my SM-N981U using Tapatalk

    Coach place on admin leave ...

    So, I found out my DDs coach has been placed on Admin leave but I don't know why. I was wondering if as a parent am I entitled at all to know why? I am thinking no, but thought I'd put it out there. And also, from what I know it doesn't involve my daughter but they are investigating allegations...

    D1 Travel Squad Size

    Oh and he didnt recruit her, so we had no way to do due diligence. Coach who recruited her did not have a track record for doing this but he got fired the summer before she got there so we hoped for the best. Sent from my SM-N981U using Tapatalk

    D1 Travel Squad Size

    I agree but I hate the idea of lying to kids. Last year my DD was told she was fantastic and started and this year is told her defense is not good enough. Which is not true she's great and so far in the couple of innings she played made the catch of the fall while other girls are watching balls...

    D1 Travel Squad Size

    Yeah its rough. My daughter started last year but this coach isnt the one who recruited her and now its pretty clear she wont ever play for him. So many lies have been told. Its pretty sad when she says well i guess i should be happy I dressed. I said plenty of teams would love her but she...

    Recruiting from the transfer portal

    My DD goes to a school where the coach she built a relationship with and signed her got fired right after DD graduated high school. Last year as a freshman she started, but this year he brought in a ton of girls with a bunch from the portal that are grad students. So shes getting triple whammied...

    Hutch retires.

    I took my daughter to a camp at Michigan in 2019. It was hands down the best college camp she EVER WENT TO. she actually learned great things that made her a better player. And it was small groups ... not a money maker camp. Hutch walked around the room and talked and chatted to all the parents...

    Transfer Portal experience

    Hi All! I think my daughter may consider transferring, for a variety of reasons, not just softball. I wanted to see what experience people had with the portal. do you absolutely have to go in the portal to even talk with coaches after the season is completely over? Like can she put feelers out...

    Meetings with Coach

    Thanks everyone for all of the great replies! I know I have no say in anything but I just wanted to get some thoughts. I am just hoping for the best for her and that she has a great experience, playing or not. Thanks!

    Meetings with Coach

    I did look up Dunning/Krueger and super interesting and I think this totally applies and it actually explains a lot of behavior of a lot of girls I have seen over the years!

    Meetings with Coach

    Thanks, I probably should have mentioned she did start this fall and was in the lineup but she's just super hard on herself. Sent from my SM-N981U using Tapatalk

    Last High School Game for a 2022; Need to Vent

    I am so sorry that your DD had that experience! HS coaches do things that make NO SENSE! My DD had a terrible senior season even though she played every game but the head games, etc. were just too much. Some can really be power hungry jerks! We do not even talk about high school ball. She is in...

    Can coaches comment on Athletic Funds like this?

    I agree. I'm going to talk to her about bringing it up to the head coach. she wasn't upset about it (it kinda went over her head and she was just like oh well) but in my mind I was like holy hell, but acted calm to her lol. If that makes sense. :) Sent from my SM-N981U using Tapatalk

    Can coaches comment on Athletic Funds like this?

    I feel the same way! but my DD has to make that decision. Very disappointing to say the least. Sent from my SM-N981U using Tapatalk

    Can coaches comment on Athletic Funds like this?

    I'm pretty sure she heard correctly and that was what she meant. this coach is very young and probably repeating something talked about in a coaches meeting. I feel like something needs to be said about it, but I don't know if my daughter would bring it up to the head coach. Sent from my...
