My freshman son didnt make the final cut for his freshman basketball team. He made it till the final selection day (second cut), but on the first training day, inexplicably, the coach cut two players (my son was one of them). My teen has played rec and competitively for the past 5 years, and basketball is his life - he puts in the work every single day, and being cut from the HS team has devastated him. As an immigrant parent who doesnt really understand the sports scene here as much, I wanted advice as to how to guide him. He is keen to keep playing so we are exploring travel teams again (our past AAU experience was not that good - we had issues with the coach). How can he keep playing basketball competitively outside of the school team in HS. Do colleges consider players not playing in their school team? I would like realistic advice please. Thank you.
