I read through the thread on cutting kids and did not find my answer so here goes. We have a 10-U select team, we picked 10 of the girls from tryouts last August and added 1 more in December on a recomendation without a tryout (I wont make that mistake again.) First off, she is a nice kid, and I like the parents but being honest she is not on the same level as the other kids on offense or defense. I might be able to live with that if she had a great attitude, before we started team practices in early January but after we took her on the team I saw her crying several times at our local indoor practice facility. At 2 of our 3 practices so far she has been over to her parents crying within the first 5 minutes, kids being kids, the rest of the team is starting to notice a pattern, I dont think she is ready for this, but I think the parents are going to take it hard as I don't believe they see the problem. Tell me if you think I am wrong, but I have no patience for crying and practices are not going to get easier. How do I tell them it's not going to work out?
Thanks,
Mike
