[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is he really tall? Willing to play goalie? Some kids who are really tall aren’t the most athletic when growing so fast but have a lot of potential. [/quote]

he is average height but built solidly. my own kid is skinnier but faster/ more agile, same height.  my kid was a solid second team choice, this is not my own hurt ego or feeling of unfairness about this other kid taking a rightful spot from my kid, my kid will fit in better on the second team.  what's funny though is that my own kid is also in the friend group of the 2 B team kids, the 2 A team kids, and the two cut kids.  I myself did not grow up around here, nor did the parents of the cut kids.  And my husband is not an alpha, social "guy's guy" with the other dads.  He's athletic and tall but introverted and has no interest in playing the suburban dad popularity game.  The parents of the kid who made the A team who should 1000% be an average to low average player on the rec team, both seem to have a lot of social clout.  It really honestly just fascinates me that instead of throwing them a bone and maybe putting their kid on the B team to let them save face, they put him on the A team!  Anyways point taken, I'm naive, and clearly not cut out for the travel soccer world of drama, fingers crossed my kid moves on to a sport where the parents seem less inclined to base their social lives off of what youth sports team their second grader made![/quote]
