I think everyone will agree that kids that are on the team the year before will almost always make it even if new kids are better. Kids who have a family member on another team in the program will almost always make it and the kids who are invited down will make it. You have to be so much better then the last kid at any posision to make these team if you were not invited down or don't have a brother in the program. Most A clubs work this way. Im lucky my son has his spot on his team and I don't have to deal with it. Don't feel bad if you did not make it. It means very little.
