I went to a high school where instead of having PE, you had to play a sport. Which meant kids played sports were they had no experience and/or didn't have any interest in playing. Not everybody played, and all the coaches excuses were "this is high school, not everybody has to play".
I played volleyball all 4 years, 1 year freshman team, 1 year JV and 2 years varsity, and we had about 10 girls on our varsity team, and not everyone played. Especially when I got to play at Junior College not everyone played..
But in your poor DD's situation, I think the coach is nuts. Does she play the same 6 girls all through rotation? You would think because the school is so small and they ATLEAST have 9 girls she would play all of them. Your DD is 5'10"! Being tall is key for volleyball! Are there any girls taller than her?
Maybe take it up with the athletic director, since they're the ones over the coaches before the principle.
the labarro will sub for a couple in back row. one will sub in to serve and the other goes in at front row. DD and another girl are same height. They would be killer at the net together.
Its funny the student mgr. will letter for doing nothing,and I mean nothing. wont fill bottles shag balls she naps at practice.
Next year there might only be 7-8 girls total.
The other teams we have played with 30+ girls they had jv so thier team was split up. But 16 on varsity were all rotated through. Every team we have played they rotated them all though. THey are working as a team so everyone will know how to work together. people get sick or hurt and you need someone to hop right in.
