[quote=Anonymous]I’ve witnessed this a few times. Middle school is where some kids start to take their sport very seriously and appoint themselves as gatekeepers. If a teammate isn’t as skilled, they’ll target them and do everything they can to drive them out of the sport. They may think they’re improving the team by getting rid of “dead wood”, but all they’re doing is weakening the HS pipeline. Every sport needs a deep bench to thrive. For now, find a more supportive team for your son to continue playing and developing in the game he loves. Don’t let them be the reason he quits. Things change, and he may find the landscape looks different in a few years after puberty, burnout, and more objective coaches shake things up with his current teammates.[/quote]
