[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just know that kids on that bubble can also be moved down no matter the offer. My son was given an A team offer at a young age and happily took it. Practiced in August with the team and did well but new kids showed up and the coach said he was going to be moving some kids to B for some games to help out. My son and at least one other ended up playing mostly on B that year. [/quote]

This is OP - we have an offer in hand for the B team and that's where DC was this year.  They've done well with the team, like the coach and the other kids, but were also told they'd have a good shot to make A next year, and now that they haven't, they've been told it was really close.  There's always next year, but DC is kind of holding out hope since all the clubs are putting offers out now and I don't know whether that's realistic.[/quote]

Do you objectively think he belongs on the A team without question?  If so, I'd move him to a new club because he has already been branded as a second tier player. If you also think "it's close" motivate the hell out of him to get him on the A team.[/quote]

Without question? I don't know, because I don't know the caliber of other kids who tried out from the outside (they did ID sessions separate from current player practices for the most part).  But I believe the coaches if they say it was a tough call, and I know my DC was really embracing the additional challenge at the practices they were able to attend.  [/quote]
