[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS’s rec soccer team is really good, but they add players if there is space on the team. Maybe the friend’s team’s roster is full with the kids from previous seasons. [/quote]

Nope roster is not full, registration just opened. [/quote]

Our league doesn't assign teams until registration is over - are you sure that isn't the situation here?[/quote]

OP here- same. Teams not assigned yet. Like I said before director is happy to place him with his friends but the coach and parents don’t want that.

To other posters who say he can play on a different team. Yes he can but when my dc and his friends have been talking about my dc joining their team since fall it doesn’t feel good. Yes its not so bad, [b]i came here to see if rec sports can be so competitive and ‘selective’ that its so difficult for a new young player to play with his friends.[/b][b] I got my answer. Thanks for your responses [/quote]

Of course they can be that selective and competitive. In some sports, being a beginner playing with kids who have been playing a while at high level rec can be dangerous. By 5th grade, if you try to put a beginner on a high level rec hockey, basketball, or lacrosse team, they are going to get hurt. [/quote]
