[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. My athlete was put on B team last year. It was utter BS. Other coaches disagreed. Other parents disagreed. But there is no questioning the decision with person who made the call.

My athlete is legitimately good (as well as hard worker and amazing teammate). Played well at a national level. Has played lights out for the club on multiple occasions (before the decision). Was being recruited by D1, 2, and 3 schools. Was smack in the middle of that. So it could have really impacted things negatively.

We were furious. But knowing there was nothing to be done, we demoted the club as a priority (no more prioritizing the practices and events). Guested with other clubs and was able to showcase the playing without our club. Had many offers to play as a result.

After that, my kid has rocked the sport and will be on the A team this year. Coaches are all of a sudden thrilled about DC bc of watching how they’ve played amazing since the snub. I have zero love for the club but the fawning is hilarious now.

The whole thing taught there is no loyalty sports. None. Zero. Among many other negative things.

But it also showed how you can work for yourself and for your goals in many different ways. You want something? Get it. [/quote]

This!!!! Youth sports is so political. Do what’s best for your kid. Those other parents aren’t your friends anyway. [/quote]

The last sentence - it took me way too many years to really get that.[/quote]
