[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]New poster that just read your reply. Is your kid and those on his team on a white team for outdoor?[/quote]

No.  Again, I'm not upset about him not getting picked, or the fact that invitations seem to be extended by outdoor team.  All of that is ok.  I just think it is better to be more direct about it, so that the kids don't have anxiety about a tryout that doesn't seem to mean anything.  [/quote]
what leads you to believe the tryout doesnt mean anything.  I dont mean to offend you but if you kid is already on a white team they go into a Futsal ID tryout knowing they are at a disadvantage right away.  They are not even skilled enough at this point in time to make an outdoor Red team roster of 18,19 or more.  Trying out for a Futsal ID team where a roster size is generally 9 seems like an incredible stretch.  Encouraging the kid is the right choice but managing their expectation is just as important.  Again you are trying to break into a roster that is half the size of an outdoor team with the top outdoor RED team players grabbing the spots as well they should.  
The club has teams other than Futsal ID that offer the same sport at a skill level more appropriate for a kid that is not at the ID level.

As for the tryout not meaning anything, my kids team saw outside players come in and try out.  The team was selected from the best of the lot regardless.   [/quote]

Clarification:  The best of the lot that actually got a chance to be put on the red id field.  [/quote]
