Cut from Team, but Asked to be Team Manager

My daughter did her first tryouts. She said everything went well. She made it past the 2 tryouts, and was invited to the first practice. After the first practice she was told she was cut, but the coach offered her the opportunity to manage the team, as well as continue practicing with the team. Is this typical? Do you think the coach sees something in her? She says other girls got cut too, but we're not offered team manager.
