At the parents meeting before the season started the HC said there are freshmen (DDs) who should be playing varsity and upperclassman who should be playing JV, then said he is playing all of his returning players from last year. For the third game of the varsity season he called them up and the rode the bench, watching girls who are clearly weaker than them play. There are two juniors and one senior who play travel ball, the rest are all girls who only play during school ball.
They see no value riding the bench. They say they would rather be home practicing with me. I told them they have to play the politics of the situation and do as the HC asks.
The AD said to me they should be honored to be called up to varsity. One DD is playing on a showcase team this summer, and this weak varsity team means nothing to her. The best case scenario the varsity team is going to be one-and-done in the playoffs.
Am I doing something wrong that DDs see no honor is being called up to varsity?
