Parents Should non competing injured teammate be excluded/included from victory celebration?

That is just awful! The headcoach should be smacked in the head!

Thank you for your support and understanding. I did not understand the reasoning and my DD did not. She cried her heart out last night. I made things worse for her by talking to her head coach, because she was so much happier thinking he was not involved. To help her process we just decided some adults have bad logic and the girls were faced with a difficult decision. They may have had no party if they included her. Still, she cried herself to sleep. She says every day all she does is condition. And she looks over and they are all having so much fun doing gymnastics and how she wants to lie and say the doctor says go ahead and she feels great so she can start doing fun things again.

Yes, she has trained as a team member the entire time. I have paid for all the meets because we thought she would compete.

Again, thank you for letting me know that I am not crazy and it still feels wrong.
