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.

Have you ever heard of a HS coach changing their mind a week after tryouts?

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

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

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

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

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