14. If her Doctor says she can play then she should play.

I don't think the school has any liability if her Doctor gives it a thumbs up.

If her pregnancy begins to diminish her level of play then the coach has the right to bench her but I don't think he should have done it prematurely and he certainly needed to keep his mouth shut. I think the coach is likely a moralizing asshole.

P.S. Volleyball is not a full contact sport as some here have claimed.
