[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can’t you appeal to the coach, and failing that: get the principal involved.

Don’t just take this like it’s ok.  [/quote]

It doesn’t work that way in sports. There are a certain number of spots and you can’t contact the principal to have another kid bumped.

We have listened been, gently offered suggestions of other clubs/teams in the area she could look into, given her time, and followed her lead if she wanted to go to other tryouts/play rec or not. [/quote]

Excellent advice.  I've been in this situation with my son, and he got through it with time, but until you get there it's tough.

Listen to him, and maybe propose helping him to work on what needs to be improved and trying out again next season.  If that's feasible -- I know there are some teams that due to an abundance of talent, or even some politics, it doesn't happen.  When my DS didn't make the basketball team, he played in a rec league that season so he could still play basketball and was with some of the same school friends who didn't make the school team.  They had a lot of fun.[/quote]
