1: white team is the stepchild. team losing is not surprising.
2: you should be happy she could play for red.
3: apparently she is not good enough in red yet, there is no confusion about it.
4: you could always decline to play for red. You have every chance.

maybe. I had a kid in a different program in a similar situation and it's miserable for the kid, especially if they are playing well for the higher team in games. The can see that they are better than kids on the higher team, and kids on the higher team can see the same thing. The club wouldn't make a promotion mid season, so the kid got stuck between two teams. They offered the high team after the season, but DD hated the club by that point so we moved on. [/quote]

We left Arlington under these circumstances.  Best.decison.ever.  We didn't subject our younger kid to it.  They aren't the best at developing players and everyone is so 'win' and 'color status' focused at the tiniest ages.  It does a psych number on so many parents and players.  I found it incredibly unhealthy and my kids took off and thrived when put in an actual merit-based program where improvement and results were rewarded and movement happened in a fair matter without stigma.[/quote]
