[quote=Anonymous]1.) This is very, very typical. But I'm sorry ... I know it hurts! 2.) Yes, he can play AAU or maybe your town has a league? 3.) Take things one step at a time. Has he hit his growth spurt? He could be a very different player next year. OTOH, it is tougher to make JV than freshman. 4.) Definitely don't AIM to play in college -- most kids simply do not ever reach that goal. But if he's really passionate, of course he should keep playing. He might make it to a D3 college, or even start at a junior college. 5.) Encourage a positive attitude. Tell him to keep playing, play pickup with friends, get in the gym. If he tries out next year, hustle, hustle, hustle. And be polite! A friend of mine had a talented but undersized kid ... she encouraged him to always be the kid asking the coach if he needed any help, scooping up loose balls, putting chairs away, etc. His good attitude paid off.
