[b][i]Both my sons are attending to an exclusive school for boys and both of them are soccer players.My 2nd child was the one who was excluded from the team bec. he fell from a skateboard and slightly had a problem with his arm.He was a goal keeper from a soccer team in school. He called me one day and told me that I can't watch his game anymore bec. he was out from the team for not being able to attend the practices for a week and at the end of this month until December they will have to play and have a match with different schools. He was terribly disappointed bec. he has gone to therapies in order for him to play as the goalie for the team.But now that he is okay and he think he can play again,that's when his coach broke the news that they got a new goal keeper. I felt sad for my son and told him that he should try a different sports like basketball or swimming and just follow the footsteps of my ex-husband for being a swimmer and representative for his school.He answere me that what he really likes is to play soccer and he is just 10 years old to feel sad for not being part of the game. If this happens to your son how would you comfort him when you know that he gives everything for the team and he is dedicated for this sport that he is good at? Response is highly appreciated. pinksBEE [/i][/b]
