[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this is going to sound ridiculous but I'm going to ask anyway.  If a kid is right on the bubble - like they ALMOST made the A team but there was someone who outperformed them - is there ever a scenario in which they end up getting onto the A team because another kid turns down their offer?  We are prepared to accept the offer but multiple coaches have commented to me how it was SO CLOSE.  This is U11 so it's not like we're heading to college recruiting or something :) Just a parent trying to see if there's any hope for my kid who is majorly bummed about this.[/quote]

Almost none.

The reality is your player is not considered a starter on the top team and another player backing out will not change that fact.

So, what should you do? Talk to the A team coach and see if your player can train regularly with the A team. This would allow your player to practice with "better" players while playing significant minutes on the B team.

Considering the is U11 and small sided think ahead to 11v11 and being in a better position then. Your player should be in a position to play meaningful minutes while being properly challenged in practice. Seek out training opportunities outside of the club as well as Futsal to develop and don't give the team placement a second thought.[/quote]

This person is correct.  There can be a lot of shake up and room to move at U13 with the transition to larger rosters and larger fields.  A kid who has been a star on the B team with lots of playing time may have an edge over someone who has been largely riding the bench on A team.  [/quote]
