Team Tryout Blues

Hi, my name is Heather, and I'm 13. I tried out for that 7th grade basketball team, and I didn't make it. We got put into teams of 5 to play a game. There was 8 teams, and I was on team 7. Teams 1-4 made that first cut. I was mad because the coach didn't even watch my team play, and I am good, and so were other girls on my team. There were 2 girls that made the team only because they were tall! I became one of the team managers, and the 2 girl that made it only because they were tall, were scared of the ball! When the ball got passed to them, they would run the other way! I was so mad, and I don't think that was far at all. Write back and tell me if that sounds fair or not.

Hey, i dont know how u feel, but that is so wrong for ur coach to do that. See at my school, its like really small so like if u want to play u can, but that doesnt mean ull play varsity. But i feel for u try out next year!

hey. our school isnt like that. whoever wants to play basketball makes the team. this past season, i was sick quite a bit. i missed half of our games. but, when i did come back for the last two games, my coach wouldnt play me! i am only 5'2", but i am taller than some other wing players. what really ticked me off was when one of our post players who had just became a wing player the game/practice before, played more than me. i played 2 mins in the first qter. i really tried hard the practice berfore the game, i ran really hard (even tho i was coughing myself half to death), even harder than most of our fastest healthiest players. hope i made you feel better!!!!!

Hey, Well I read your article and I totally agree with you! Thats sounds exactly like my basketball team at school! There are so many girls that try out and make it because of their height and personally I think that is very unfair. I felt like getting up and leaving at one of our basketball tournaments my sixth grade year because my coach played all of the tall people and I was known as shorty so I didn't get to play. I wish there was some way I could you but there's not cause thats just the way things go I guess.
