[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think there is much "wiggle room" in the sense that your questioning the club's placement decision, and saying that you think your child belongs on the A team etc., is going to cause them to change their minds. One assumes that they know every parent is interested in their child being properly placed, and that many parents might *think* that their child belongs on the A team when the fact is that, relatively speaking, there are other players ahead of their child in development and ability.

If by "wiggle room" you mean whether things could change down the road -- absolutely, in my experience.  Kids move up/down on teams, even in the weeks leading up to the start of the fall season, based on how they are performing in the initial practices/scrimmages.  Also, as others mentioned, sometimes kids leave--switch clubs at the last minute, move away from the area (quite common, in DC-metro)--and new openings appear.  Your child might move up to the A team based.

In any case, if you have, or think you can get, an offered spot on the A team of another club that you *would be happy* playing with, that would certainly be an option I'd consider.  I doubt that telling your current club that the folks on "the other club" think your child is an A-team player would change their minds, however.[/quote]

This is OP - I wasn't actually questioning the placement aside from just considering the feedback we got from the coaches, which made it seem like DC almost made it.  I wasn't going to question the club as to whether they made the wrong call; just wondering whether there was any chance we'd get a notification that a spot had actually opened up because someone else turned it down.[/quote]
