My 8th-grade son loves basketball and just made the basketball team. He is the new kid. After the first day of practice, he came home and said "I'm the worst kid on the team." Turns out he was picked last for a scrimmage. I was shocked that this older coach still did the whole "picking teams" routine. There's been a lot of research on this topic, and national organizations for physical education teachers have discouraged this practice for at least a decade. Studies show that "picking teams" has long-term consequences on self-esteem and future physical health.
I need guidance on what to do next. I don't want my son to quit a sport he loves, but I don't want him to endure a popularity contest daily in order to do it. Especially one that has lasting and long-term consequences. Could I get some guidance on what I should do next?
