What is the name of your state? Minnesota
I have a daughter who is in 5th grade B-Ball. First tournament of the year she played a total of 13 minutes in three games which are approx 40 minutes long for a total of 110 minutes if time-outs and halftime is excluded. I ask the director why the kids do not get equal play time. He said it depends on missed practices and how hard the kid trys. The next week the team is divided between the best and not so good players. The better of the girls go to a tournament with the two coaches while the director takes the other girls to a game playing the same team. The tournament girls recieve medals while the others recieve nothing. Tournament two she plays 27 minutes out of 110 for the day. She ask to play he tells her he needs his best players. Tournament three she plays approx 10 minutes and doesnt play at all in the third game along with 5 other girls. She ask to play the coach says he needs his best players. My girl cryed last night. This is not an isolated incident just the one I logged this year. Last year the same people were involved for 4th grade girls basketball. My question is there a violation of law here? My motive is not monetary but change in practice. I know the school well and I highly doubt administration will do anything especially when the coaches are volunteers. I also question whether or not to confront the school administration if there is a valid law suit. What do you think? For more details please PM. Thank you.
