[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just know that kids on that bubble can also be moved down no matter the offer. My son was given an A team offer at a young age and happily took it. Practiced in August with the team and did well but new kids showed up and the coach said he was going to be moving some kids to B for some games to help out. My son and at least one other ended up playing mostly on B that year. [/quote]

This is OP - we have an offer in hand for the B team and that's where DC was this year.  They've done well with the team, like the coach and the other kids, but were also told they'd have a good shot to make A next year, and now that they haven't, they've been told it was really close.  There's always next year, but DC is kind of holding out hope since all the clubs are putting offers out now and I don't know whether that's realistic.[/quote]

and they will tell you the same thing again next year. We had a close friend bring out their kid to my dc's tryout and they complained that they were told that they were close last year and throughout the year their kid didn't get any opportunities with the top team so they were frustrated.  Guess what, they were told the same thing again this year and they still decided to go back to that same B team.  This in a year where roster size increased so how close were they really?  At our club they actually received a top team offer.  They were meh on their coach and ours is actually really good.[/quote]
