Do you think this is right? (10pts)?

Question

Okay so I'm a sophmore playing varsity. My posistion is outside hitter. A JR already has her spot secured but I'm battling mine against this girl who I know I'm better than. Everyone has told me, and I find it really frusturating that the only reason she is ahead of me is because she's a senior.

Do you think it's right for coaches to play a girl over another girl because she's a senior? Or should they do whats best for the team?

And i'm not arogant. Trust me...I really feel I'm the better player.

Answer 1

it's not right talk to the coach

Answer 2

While I agree that he should play who is best for the team, I can understand his actions. Since you've made varsity as a sophmore, you're in for the next two seasons for sure where as this is her last chance. As competitive as high schools sports are, they aren't professional and thus not all decisions are made for winning. As an ex-athlete, I see where your coach is coming from, but if I were still competing I would be upset as are you.

Answer 3

Think about it. When you're a senior, would you want to give up your spot to a sophomore? I realize you may be better than her, but you can work something out. If you are a hitter the coach could probably put y'all opposite each other. If I were you I would just be happy i was on varsity as a sophomore. I'm an upperclassman and I worked hard to get to the spot where I am now and was just recently replaced by a freshman. Not the best feeling in the world. So just think about her too. It's her last year playing highschool volleyball cut her some slack.

Answer 4

wow you're really lucky to be playing varsity as a sophomore...you must be really good..

its not right that your coach put her ahead of you just because shes a senior, i know that my coach would NEVER stand for that...i know that my coaches ALWAYS place people in positions best for the team..last year we had a freshman play for varsity along with all of the other seniors.

if that other girl has a bad attitude the coach shouldnt let her be on the team. my coaches say that attitude is #1.  

you're totally right about everything! well good luck with your team

Answer 5

Gosh that really sucks.

I dont think age should matter.

If you suck, you suck.

It doesnt matter if your senior.

If your senior you had more time to get better.

not making varsity or even a team in general is just as bad if your a freshman or senior, so enuff of that bull.

I sincerely feel for you :/

Answer 6

i think if she has put in work for three years then she deserves to play.Imagine not being able to play your senior year.

Answer 7

Yes hes being unfair in the respect of ability,

but maybe they favour experience then talent,

and perhaps she has a better attitude ?

Answer 8

Your coach should play the better player (you) instead of the senior, but during the senior game you might not get much playing time.

I hope that helps :)!
