I can understand if my daughter was not rostered for a match. But - is it fair to NOT tell the player and still have them travel (AND PAY) and make her sit on the bench with hopes of being subbed in at some point? I found out afterwards and my daughter has no idea her coach had no intention of having her play.

Saw it happen once last year to a player. The player travelled the distance (12 hour bus ride) and they were told they had to sit on the grass outside of the player sidelines(a far distance).
Think about this for a second. The player travels, the coach and any other club reps are responsible for their supervision/safety (parents aren't there) and while they're busy coaching a game a player is left alone nowhere near a spot where they can keep an eye on them. If something happened and the kid is 400 miles from home it would be a disaster.
Sometimes the stupidity is stunning.
Sorry this happened to you

Welcome to club soccer. Newbie parent, I assume.
Gets worse as you get older. If your dd isn't a starter, then this is how it is.
There are some clubs, especially GDA, that forces everyone to travel, but the
roster isn't announced until a few hours before the game. So, you can't even
sit with your team. Some coaches and club have this idea that brutality is the key
to making great soccer players and killing off the weak. Great. Tell that to a 14 year
old girl.
So couple things to watch for parents:
1. Rosters larger than 18.
2. Ask the club/team if that is their policy.
3. Understand where your kid fits on the team. Starter, off the bench, or practice cone.
Good luck.

If your D is not in the top 7 or 8 on the roster, a core player and starting 85% of the games; you are wasting your time, money and your child's youth.

You have several options that will be far more effective than posting here.
1. Speak to the team coach to find out what the situation was and why.
2. Escalate it to the DOC responsible for the age group and share your concerns at that level.
3. Take it to the Board and ask them to determine what happened and address the situation formally.
If you aren't willing to engage with the people who can actually find out what happened and rectify the situation going forward face to face like an adult, then I don't know what else to tell you.

That is such a "duh" concept I can't believe I even have to say it.
