I have a friend that is playing their first year on a travel team and they have come me to me with concerns. Their wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or has seen this happen on other teams and what to do about it?
here is the scenario: All girls have tryout for the team and if they are not good enough they are not offered a spot BUT for some reason the managers daughter gets a free ride or spot on the team beacause daddy is the manager and wants her to get playing time... according to the friend the managers daughter is not a very good player and never had to try out.
Team first? or daughter first?
Fair? or not fair? What do you do if this happens to you and the team your daughter plays on? Is this what is referred to "daddy ball" ? I told my friend 1st- welcome to travel ball and 2nd in my opinion, you pay XXX$$$$ to be on a travel team with hi expectations and expecting fair treatment and great coaching and leadership but in that case, i dont think it is fair.... but i want to know what OFC thinks; is this fair and does anyone have any reccomendations for her? does this make the manager look bad and would you play for this team?
thanks~
