[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your husband should talk to the team and shut down the rumor and say icing DS out is not sportsmanlike, and he's surprised that at 12 these kids can't see that Friend's DS badmouthing someone who made a team he didn't make is just jealousy. Shut. It. Down.[/quote]

This - or better yet, that should come from the head coach.

And meanwhile you tell your kid “you can’t let yourself get hung up on what other people say. You tell them once more “you can believe what you want but that’s not true” and then you move on and ignore. You’re here to play soccer. Concentrate on that, not who is friends with whom, and show them you deserve your place.”

Don’t get wrapped up in the drama. Either it blows over and everyone moves on or at the end of the season if the kids are still cliquey and your son is unhappy there, you switch teams.

Don’t give this further air. Let your kids wear headphones during carpool if he wants but model just acting above it all. Other kid clearly did this because he was hurting and has bad impulse control and is 11.[/quote]
