[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Be proud of your kid. He’s no fool and not falling for their BS...smart kid. I hope he ends up in a great situation elsewhere!

Agreed.[/quote]

I think it depends.  If the reason they are moving him down is to get more $, by all means, getting out of there is 100 percent the right choice.  If the reason that they are moving him down is that they think the other players are better, then the club is doing what it is supposed to.  Much as I would like to think that clubs are working to develop kids, and I hope that they are, at the end of the day, another consideration that they have is to put together the most competitive teams that they can.  I get that it stings - my son was not offered a spot on his club's futsal team, even though he did a good job for them in multiple previous years, because there were players outside the club that they felt were stronger.

not having a guaranteed spot on a winter team seems miserable to me. Our club includes winter and views futsal as a way for the team to train together. I also think that moving a kid off the A team to make it competitive is fine, but your kid is the consumer and is free to shop elsewhere if they don't like the product being offered. If there is a big gap between A and B, it's likely that a kid who gets bumped off of A will not be placed on a developmentally approbate situation off the B team and is better off looking elsewhere [/quote]
