Well - how competitive is your daughters HS volleyball team? And how fair is the coach?
My lacrosse player was a bench warmer on varsity for a good portion of her junior year. She started a few games as a senior because of injuries and played very well. Her team was super good and had a bunch of superstar like girls on it that really ran over the others. AND I really do think her coach played favorites.
But my D loved lacrosse. Fast forward to recruiting – she played on a club team (and it was the B team) but you know what? She found a great spot on a D2 team and her first college start as a sophomore she was voted defender of the week in the conference coaches poll. And her college team is a top 30 program in the country for D2.
The lesson is that you cannot always go by the coach making her warm the bench.
