I’ve never heard of it. But this interaction is so bizarre.

I posted last week that my daughter was cut from the HS volleyball team.

Sounds like she realized that she mis-handled your daughter's situation - and likely feels some guilt about not having

Most sports are at least 2/3 the time at practice.

Some girls could have quit or she wants a team manager?

My guess is manager/injury reserve

If it’s team manager, that is just cruel.

Hard pass…move on with her new hobbies. Sounds like she was getting into

The timing. One week later and late at night

I don't find the week later that bizarre. The late night is a bit uncomfortable

Seems odd the texts all come so late at night. Coach have a drinking problem?

Maybe she heard your daughter had a hard time and wanted to reach out. Not sure

And hopefully the coach isn’t a predator 🙂

She’s a nice lady. I don’t think there is anything malicious with this. Possibly

As a Varsity coach myself cutting kids absolutely sucks and sometimes you

At this point, we are fine with the fact that she got cut. But this interaction

I hope I’m wrong, but if she were going to invite her to the team, it seems

The VB coach told my daughter she wouldn’t play as a Sr and told her she could

I suspect she just wants to give her advice for maybe next year

I’ve seen several times the coach bringing players back later after having cut

I don’t think so. She has cried with us as her parents. But she’s handled it

I think you need to see this as a great move by a human that wants to

That's the best initial reaction. If it ends up weird deal with that later

Good perspective. At this point it’s just our curiosity that makes it weird.

Seems to me the first text is key and the coach just wants to be a good person and reach out

Is it possible the coach wants to give her tips to improve for next year?
