[quote=Anonymous]My DS was the only kid in his group of friends cut from a summer travel baseball team. He's really upset. Part of it is that he wanted to make the team. Part of it is that it's all his friends are talking about. Part of it is the social aspect - kids hang out afterward et cetera.

I feel terrible for him. He is also justifiably upset. He had a good tryout, but two of the kids who made the team, one of whom struck out at each at bat, have dads who are coaches. It felt political too.

Three of the moms texted me asking if they should ask their sons not to talk about it around my son. Which made me feel even worse for him, like they're trying to now protect him out of pity.

Then one of the coaches emailed me asking if my son would like to "manage" the team, which means he would travel with the team but not play. I don't totally know what it entails. But maybe this would make my DS feel pathetic. I just got the email and have yet to bring it up to him.

Just kind of processing my thoughts here.

This comes hot on the heels of an ADHD diagnosis for my son. It's been a rough spring for him. He is upset about maybe needing medication and now this.
