[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thank you all.  He knows that he needs to perform differently at the next tryouts.  Even if he does, I'm  not sure it will be sufficient.  He would be happy with an offer from any level of our league's travel teams.  If it doesn't happen this year, I'll encourage him to do the summer futsal offered through our county, play rec next year, keep practicing, and try again next year.  [/quote]

Sounds like a good plan.  My DS tried out for a travel basketball team for the first time last year and didn't make it.  DH and I both thought he'd be pretty upset if he didn't make the team but he wasn't.  And, I don't think he was just pretending not be upset.  As parents, if we take "failure" in stride, it might help our kids do the same.  And I personally want to be careful not to in any way hold back my DS in aiming for big things because I'm too worried he'll be very disappointed if he fails.  I don't want to transmit any doubts I may have about his abilities but I don't want to over-inflate him either.  So, I'm trying to step back.[/quote]
