A new girl joined my DDs' TB team. She is clearly overweight. My DDs pointed out she never tucks in her jersey. I told them she is probably self-conscious about her weight.
Anyway, another girl's mother told me this girl's parents wanted to pull her from the team, they were feeling she was not getting enough game time overall, and apparently even more upset she was not getting more time in the circle.
This mother told me the girl refused to leave the team. Apparently she had been on two different teams last year. On the first team her teammates actively taunted her because of her weight and made her life so miserable she left. She went to a second team last spring. She was not picked on by those teammates, but she was completely ignored by them.
It seems she is so happy being on my DDs' team, where she was warmly welcomed and befriended as an equal teammate, she told her parents she insists on staying with the team.
