[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So when you get an offer letter or whatever it’s called, how does that work? Can the club move a player up or down during the year? [/quote]

Yes. My son was offered a spot on the top team and moved to the B team as soon as the season started. A few new kids appeared after the initial roster was set and it was clear they would need to make space on the top team for them. They were undeniably better than any of the existing players. It was disappointing for our son and I felt like it was a bait and switch. A few weeks into the season, my son was over it and so was I. The B team was still a strong team and I think it’s a better fit for his skill level. If I couldn’t clearly see that the new players were better than my son, I probably would have had a tougher time accepting it. [/quote]

Although the situation does suck in the long run it's probably best for him as he likely gets a lot more playing time than he would have had on the top team.  He has an opportunity to continue developing and build some confidence so that next year he can challenge for the top team.[/quote]
