So there’s a club team that’s so good that it travels far and wide AND her school team that are individually and collectively responsible for changing and screwing up her serve and her game so badly that she might not make the good club team?

Are you sure she’s not just wilting under the pressure of expectations from her family—and they’re all looking for her two teams to blame?

HS sports SHOULD BE about a “team”, not one or two individuals. I sympathise with the niece who has exceptional talent which is not being utilized to its fullest. On the other hand, what is the more important, her athletic skills or her grades? I expect there will be others who take exception to this and I believe EVERYONE should have a chance to participate. Highschool is not the NFL where winning is everything/the only thing. Being a team player is more important in my book. Suck it up!

Her club team is great. Her school team wants “safe” serves, “safe” spikes and she’s not getting much practice for club time when they can’t even set the ball to her.
