[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster here, need some advice please.  My son (U13) is in his first year of travel soccer and had historically played goalie in rec soccer.  This is his first year in both travel as well as in the position of striker.  He's had a steep learning curve playing in the field, and it's obvious to me and his coach that he's still apprehensive when players come running up to him with the ball, or when he's expected to be aggressive in taking command of the ball when it's with him.  He's gotten better, but his coach doesn't given much direct feedback to him.  Tryouts are coming up after Memorial Day, and I just have this knot in my stomach thinking of the possibility that he won't be asked back.  He's got so many of his good friends on the team, too.

The coach has given me some good feedback, stating that he's made progress but still has some of the same original concerns.  At least there's progress, right?  I just don't want him (my son) to be demoralized if he's not asked back, ug.  I'm letting him decide if he wants to do tryouts again, and I'll preface it with walking him through the possibility of not making the team and some of the emotions that would come from that, too.  I'm also thinking of having him try out with BRYC, since that's closest to where we live.

Anyone who has BTDT, advice would be really appreciated, thanks.[/quote]

Hire a private coach to work with him until tryouts. We were in the same boat at the U12 level last year and the coaching gave him enough confidence to make the team. Good luck!
