[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something similar happened for a u11 all-star tryout last year. The coach publicly decided who was going to be on the A team, and who was going to be on the B team.

My daughter saw her friends go on the A-team, while she ended up on the B-team.  There were many girls but picked for either team.

At the time, the parents thought it was messed up. For my daughter, it motivated her to work harder to earn the spot the following year. There may have been other girls who gave up and left the club. My daughter was telling me about an incident in gym class where her friend picked 2 good players for 3 v 3 basketball instead of her friends. The friend was upset about it, and it became a whole thing in the friend group and now player picker has been outcast. If our teams are based on politics rather than talent, then it’s really not that serious. [/quote]

An all star team and a team being picked by kids during a gym class are not at all the same as a full year travel team where the kids have already been playing together for a year or more. You’re comparing apples to oranges here. [/quote]
