Literally just received an email from T’s coach. He made the team and will remain, the club is notifying all players today, individually. I have no idea when we’ll see the roster. I’m assuming they’ll update our team website soon. I still don’t like this. :(

Secondly, we formally withdrew from Cub Scouts yesterday. I know T is a little sad over it. I told him he can join Boy Scouts in a few years, if he wants to.

No, I’m sad that they put the kids thru this, and that the team is changing again. It’s not the norm. June tryouts are supposed to guarantee you a spot for Fall and Spring (on the team you make at that time).. November tryouts are supplemental-for new kids, possibly the creation of a new team.. and current players who want to move up to the next level.. those kids are only guaranteed Spring season if they make it, then tryout again in June.

So for example, everyone who played in Fall had already committed, and paid, for a whole year (2 seasons) when we received our offers in June.
If you make a team at supplemental, you only receive an offer for one season.

Sounds very confusing!

It’s not supposed to be. There’s 4 levels of select at this age. Premier and Elite being the most intense.. the website states that June tryouts guarantee the level you make, for the Fall and Spring season.
Kids aren’t supposed to be moved down, not forced anyway...they can choose to if allowed, and discussed between player (family) and coaches .

They are not supposed to be moved down between seasons without a choice. That’s what’s happening now.

The rosters are so small at this age. 10 per team.. with so many kids trying out. Neither the Premier or the Elite team won any tournaments this season, and we both finished second place in our divisions.. So, the club apparently wanted changes to be made. That’s the only thing that makes sense.




*Hopefully this post was a little easier to follow. I should have explained it this way from the beginning.

I'm all for tryouts, but not rule changes in the middle without consultation!
