[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]My son had his first practice yesterday, and he is a bit discouraged. During the regular season, he plays for one club, on their middle team. He tried out for and was selected for Super Y with another club, He was the weakest player at the pratice - the other boys on the Super Y team are really good. He's concerned about being able to succeed. He was one of the better players on his regular team, and isn't used to being a weaker link on the team. Is this typical for Super Y, and what advice can I give my son?

Jesus, most people complain about the Super Y team being bad overall. Quit your complaining and understand that it is a better opportunity to play with better kids for the summer than a team of hacks.[/quote]

Wow, I am not OP, but as someone who was the worst player on her basketball team as a kid, I can definitely relate to feeling uncomfortable in that situation at the beginning.  It's normal, and you press through, but it is not unreasonable for the kid to feel bad about it for a few practices.  Geez.[/quote]

It is also more likely that the kid is overreacting after one practice with kids he has never played with before. Perhaps many of the players came from the same team and all he is seeing is players who are comfortable with each other and just needs some time to catch up.

It is an overreaction and is worth the "jesus" eye roll kinda comment.

Relax, its summer soccer, it should be fun and in his case it looks like it will be challenging which is a GREAT thing even if he is blind to that now.[/quote]
