"not because she was not one of the best at her position , but because she didn't try out with a blu or gold pine on her back . "
Many parents feel their child is one of the best at her position but the coaches believe otherwise.If the coaches thought your daughter would help them win more so than other girls on the team she would have been placed on that team,the coaches want to win.That being relationships with the kids ,parents etc. from the prior years team will naturally have an impact on the coaches choice.
