[quote=Anonymous]One thing your son can do (in a polite way with good attitude, and NOT bringing any other players into this he discussion) is ask the coach for feedback- “what do I need to work on and improve to make the team next year?”. Some coaches will give extremely helpful feedback, others will just say something generic (if this is the case, still no harm done in asking).

Your DS also might grow between now and then (my own DS grew 5 inches freshman year).

He should also keep playing for his club team(s) and focus on any individual skill training he needs, along with general strength/conditioning. Many gyms offer supervised training programs for teens.

While odds would not be in his favor to make JV next year (being honest)- it could certainly still happen and he does have a chance still. Kids sometimes transfer schools, quit because they no longer enjoy the sport, have academic eligibility issues, cut for attitude issues and more.  Also probably depends on the talent level of next year’s incoming freshman class. Honestly, sometimes there is a bit of luck involved if you are a “bubble” player. [/quote]
