The 7th and 8th grade volleyball season is upon us. Our granddaughter made the team but there is a lot of apprehension among the two teams. The school district hired a new coach at the end of the season last year and she is causing a lot of turmoil among the players and her assistant coach. Our granddaughter was one and might still be in the coach's crosshairs. The coach is not a coach, she is more of an instigator and divider. She tries to pit players against players and the players against the assistant coach. Our granddaughter is number 30.
Sounds like a poor choice by the school - know well those things happen. Don't like the kids to be the ones who pay for the poor decision. Good luck #30
@milaniet - I am not sure why they hired this person. I can only speculate. I think they hired her because it was what they thought was the politically correct thing to do, or they wanted to prove to themselves and maybe the school district that they are open minded.
The teams played in a tournament today held by a local school. Eight teams participated. Our 8th grade team made it to the championship. Everyone was tired. I believe they played four teams two matches a piece which is 8 matches and the they played two for the championship. They lost both matches 18-25 and 16-25. The coach was screaming at them for every mistake that she thought they made. Instead of encouraging them for placing out of 8 schools she wasn't letting them off the hook. That person doesn't deserve to be a coach/mentor of middle-schoolers.
