[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 571267, member: 1967"] What makes you think that things are different here? We have rec teams through our parks and rec system that just play for fun and everyone gets to play and independent travel teams that play at a higher competitive level. In fact, there are competitive cheer teams as an alternative to school teams. dstc_99's daughter or the other girls that get kicked off the school team could join a competitive cheer team. In fact, those teams usually compete at a much higher level than school teams and there would be a greater chance at getting a scholarship being on those teams than a school team. My easy child was a softball star and played on a very high level competitive travel team. Everyone knew that the real chance for scholarships came from the travel ball tournaments that they played in. She also played on her high school team but that was more for fun and wanting to participate in a school activity. To tell you the truth, I don't know what the penalty is at my school for being caught at a party where alcohol is being served. I do know that on my easy child's team, there was a difficult child who showed up at a restaurant where the team had gone to eat after a game (just girls . . . no coaches) where the difficult child showed up clearly drunk. The girls on the team went to the coach the next day and wanted her thrown off the team. They said that the fact that she had showed up in her softball uniform drunk was a reflection of them as a team and they didn't like it. The coach did not throw the girl off the team. He told them that "sometimes the player needs us more than we need them." easy child didn't like it but she understood that the coach was hoping that the team would be a good influence on the girl. Sadly, it didn't work out that way. She continued down the difficult child path of drugs and alcohol. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
