[quote=Anonymous]It is what it is.

I can't tell you how many times my oldest was not moved up on team or not looked at a tryout---only to go elsewhere--make the top team and then beat the team (and score himself)  that shafted him.

It's the story of soccer.

He's in the regionals against a team he tried out for that put him on the third field with no coaches watching.  And he is the star of this team.

Club, high school, etc., it doesn't matter.  It happens.  You just have to roll with it and as I told my kid "they did you favor. things happen for a reason'.  For both of my kids, every situation where they felt 'screwed over' or they got treated poorly---wherever they ended up or what they ended up doing after was much better for them and they ultimately ended up in a higher place.

High school situation sucks because it's not like you can switch high schools or want to for getting shafted---but it just might be that it frees you up for better soccer experiences outside of high school or new and different experiences not related to soccer in high school.[/quote]
