There is always a way of getting a new coach, but by transferring only. There are other ways, but you have to look at a couple of things. You have to think about how hard you put out in practice. be optimistic about the resons why you might not be playing. Meaning think to yourself you always give 100% in practice, play as a team player, understand that some people are born with natural talents, and others have to develope or fine tune theirs a lil more than others. Then think about the experience you have between yourself and the other players around you. As any kind of athlete you have to understand those things, and surround yourself with the kind of people that can really make you happy as a teammate and a player. It goes along with growing up. But make sure you end up in a happy position. Ask the coach where you can make improvements in your game. That maybe the key to a better relationship with your coach. Let me know if I answered you question, or maybe gave you a better solution to the question.

Getting a school to change varsity coach or any coach is not an easy thing to make happen. The coach will not be changed based on who that person plays or does not play. The coach in most cases will not be changed based on being liked. The school athletic director (in most cases) would require a "real reason" to make such a change. Coach Lee above gives you good advice. If the coaching is the real problem you and your parents can make an appointment to speak with the athletic director. Unless this coach has received a lot of complaints I don't believe anything will change. Sorry if that is not the news you wanted.
You could always look to travel volleyball to satisfy your need for better coaching.

Good Luck.

I agree with both coaches. However, I would schedule the meeting first by yourself with the coach to let your concerns be heard, then with your parents and the coach if he/she isn't listening. Go to the AD as a last resort. He/she will probably want you to take these steps anyway.

Find out why you're not the favorite! It's a tough road but as a MS & HS Varisty and Club Asst Coach, with a daughter on a different MS & Club team, I've seen most. You must first take a very positive attitude towards yourself, teammates, play level and coach. I've seen many benched for bad attitudes or complaints and when actually given the chance (during practice) the level of play is not there because the attitude is like "well, if's not like I'm going to play anyway". It's hard, I truly understand because I try to be the shield and listen to the complaints so I can tell the head coach(es). A bad/negative attitude is toxic. Practice is your true and really only chance to prove yourself, don't wait until the game. We watch everything more during practice. Be a positive leader on the bench! Try this for at least two weeks minimum. Be positive NO MATTER WHAT. See if the coach notices you more. Then if you are proving that your as good as or better, follow Jack's advice.

Good luck and please let me know if this helps.

thanks everyone but the thing is, it's not my coach im talking about, it is my sisters. this coach has gotten many complaints over the years and every year it is the same problem. she sits people for no reason at all. she doesnt nessesarily choose favorites she just neglects to play two people on the team every single year. it makes people angry all the time and she makes the players feel like they are no good.

I know that all of these complaints should be directed towards the coach but the thing is, that everything has been done to try to get this issue taken care of. We have tried talking to the coach but she just says things that everyone knows are just excuses. The parents are very upset about this.

As much as I would recommend a team meeting, you/they have to realize the hidden consequences. When this very same situation happened to someone close to me, the parents who had kids playing all the time, started to "politely" attack the complaining parents. Then the parents went at it and the girls in question were resented by the rest of the team. The easiest way (in my opinion with this new info) is to invite the AD and the Principal to one or two of the games and have them watch for themselves, even if you had another school coach pay attention, it could help. The girls still have to keep a positive outlook so they don't look like they just complain all the time. This is a real problem and it will keep happening until her peers or superiors intervenes.
