Heard about this yesterday from this girls parents. Young lady played summer ball had a batting average over 400 the entire summer season and was over 500 the first half of the season , even had college spotters ask her parents questions. She tried out for her school team and was cut, they play in the fall in Georgia. A school coach from another school told the parents after the fact, the coach had told him before summer workout began and the try outs he was not going to keep this player. The parents are upset because they feel the kid was not given a fair chance, after being told that.
The coach told the players before the cut that he would not talk to any of the parents about the cuts, it was thanks for trying and better luck next year. The kid told the parents she had a good try out and did not understand why she was cut. She is an A student does volunteer work in the community, teaches Bible School to the young kids, so she is not a problem kid.
Parents ask my opinion what to do about it and I told them to talk to School Principal, but you know how that works. I think if for some reason the coach don’t want her and then he is forced to put her on the team he will go out of his way to make her look bad as he can. The kid loves her school and friends and don’t want to change schools, but wants to play for a school team.
I thought if maybe I would ask if anyone had a suggestion?
