A teen club volleyball player and her family are suing after they said her coaches spiked her playing time and her league blocked a transfer to another club.
Audrey Dimitrew, 16, of Virginia accepted a spot on the under-16 Chantilly Juniors in November believing she would get playing time, but was told by coaches she did not have the skills to compete with her team.
The sophomore at Woodgrove High School and her family sued the Chesapeake Region Volleyball Association on March 10 after they said she was accepted to another club but was denied the transfer from her league.
The lawsuit seeks to let Audrey transfer clubs and asks for attorney fees.

Over the years many kids have joined junior sports teams and then ended up benched and playing little or none at all. I'm not sympathizing with the parents suing, don't get me wrong, but if the kid can't play well, why keep her on the team at all and keep her benched?
That's like an employer keeping people around who can't do the job, but continuing to employ and pay them anyway. You would think the team would simply tell her to hit the road if she doesn't have the skills. So why keep her or any other kid around if she's doomed to warm a bench instead of play? I've raised this question before and never have received a coherent answer.
Is keeping her a way of preventing another team from having her? If so, doesn't that raise the question of whether her playing skills might actually be of use to a team after all?
Not a sports fan, and this is one of many team practices I see when looking in from outside that boggle me.
