You have a question that needs to be asked of a lawyer. You can ask over the phone if you want. It depends on circumstances. You can also bring it up to the school board. You do have rights even if you are the student...good luck to you.

You asked a ton of questions! Here goes.\n\n1. It is not a foul if you hit the ball away from opponent's hand, assuming you only made initial contact with the ball, and not the opponent's hand nor other body parts in the process.\n\n2. Player with ball can not push the opponent. \n\n3. Player can attempt to take the ball away from any position, assuming they only make initial contact with the ball, and don't make contact with the ball holder's hand, body, etc.\n\n4. Kicking the ball accidently results in a stoppage of play. The team that did not kick the ball gets possession.  It is not considered a personal foul.\n\n5. It is legal, thus not a foul, to throw the ball at any bodypart of the  opponent in the hopes of it going out of bounds to maintain posession.  It would be considered good sportsmanship to try to avoid throwing the ball at the face and/or sensitive reproductive organs of the opponent.

Probably not. That sounds extreme and unfair to me. I would ask a lawyer or look at the schools dress code though. You could probably sue them...But that requires a lawyer. But yeah, check out the dress code. Hope that helps\n\n\npeace

I know the high school I went to we didnt have a boys volleyball team and there were about 3 guys who signed up to play on the girls team.  They tried to tell us we couldnt play but after a nice court battle we got to play.\nthe law is (well in PA anyway), if a school does not offer a sport for both sexes, they can play BUT if there is a sport (like ur situation: hockey) that has BOTH boy and girl teams, then they have to play on the same sex team.

From the article below...\n\n"Some teams may have shied away from the player's fiery temper and police record. He was arrested in January 2005 for public intoxication, a charge that was later dismissed."\n\nSeems a little harsh for a teenager, we all make mistakes.

oh yes it is they can get penalized either 1 or 2 ways either by unneccesary roughness or unsportsmanlike conduct and could even get ejected from the game depending on the official that's a nono you can only tackle a person from behind if they have the ball and you're behind them but not without the ball

It is truly up to the coach.  that being said NCAA requires no more than twenty hours a week for practice.

If you're on the team then there is nothing wrong with asking the coach why you don't have your uniform.  He may have just forgot!  If he does snap at you when you ask and he doesn't give you one, then he's a bad coach.

NO - the postponed game later in the season is not taken up from the point of stoppage - the first game was a no game

Most schools have code of conduct for its students.  He could be in violation of the code of conduct and be subject to penalties including expulsion from the school.  You may also seek an injunction against harassment from the courts on the grounds of the habitual harassment from the classmate if you are in college and not high school.

Well nothing said of the pay they get but my best guess would be to start issuing team fines for those who don't come to practice. What happens if your team doesn't have 25 players? After all some players might get pissed and quit when they start getting punished for it.

It's hard to stand up and say, "yes we messed up" and face others.  The thing is if you really support the team and the school then I say go and cheer for them.  You are going to run into the idiots and morons who will ask why you are there espically since your son is out.  However, if they cannot understand that you are there to support the school regardless then they are the true morons.\n\nI know it won't be an easy decision for you, but maybe you can find some friends that maybe willing to stick with you if you go to the game.  A circle of friends and family will make it a lot more tollerable then going it alone.  \n\nHowever, its up to you on how you wish to proceed as you will know those in your community more then most of us.  So, if you believe you have a great community and people should understand overall then enjoy the game. :)

The guy doesn't respect you as a player, probably because you're female and that would make him a male chauvinist pig. Another reason might be that he thinks he's the only good player on this team and will hog the ball to shoe how "great" he is. In either case, you should speak to the coach about him. He will probably be a smuck even after the coach speaks to him, so good luck. If it continues and the coach doesn't remedy this you may have to approach the local district sports board.

It's happened before, but in general it's difficult to prove that the action was not part of the game.\n\nI remember one case where two high schools were playing football. One team had a group of known racists, and the other team had a black player. The black player was tackled violently by at least one member of the opposing team (I forgot some details), and it was caught on video.\n\nThe attacker used the excuse that it was part of the game, but the person who got attacked tried to show that there was no reason for him to get tackled, since he didn't have the ball and the video showed that the attacker went out of his way to tackle him even though the action was in the other direction.\n\nThe case went to trial, but I don't remember the outcome.

If this squad is part of a public school's extracurricular program, they have to keep a relatively public account of their finances.  Ask the principal of the school to check the balance sheets, providing the info you cited above.  As for negative reactions to your inquiries, that's all too common.  Accept that your daughter will not make the squad.  On the other hand, if there are shady dealings going on, there may be a new coaching staff on hand for next season....

Im not sure about that. A win is a win wheter its 1-0 or 6-0. A team is allowed to play how they want if they play outside the law they will have players sent off and lose.

don't quote me on this, but there may be a federal law because I think all schools can legally expel a person
