Robert was offered a spot on the Javanon team on Friday, June 8. He left for Boy Scout camp on Monday, June 11. Mark went to the Javanon meeting and turned in his papers, money, picture and medical release. Everything seemed fine. He even signed in for the meeting and left making sure he introduced himself to Tina Smith, the team manager.
Because the coach didn't see Robert on Monday he assumed Robert chose to go with another team, Mockingbird, and cut him! UGH!!! You know what they say about assuming. Well, that's not the worst of it. He also didn't bother to tell anyone. So Robert (and Betsy) came back on Friday only to find out after we had lost a spot on Mockingbird and United that he didn't have a spot on Javanon.
Robert was in tears! Literally - all night. We talked to him about it. We shared how it could be for the best and we will make the best of it - but right then we needed to find a team for him to play on.
He was accepted immediately on Legends, but also invited to a try out at LSA on Saturday evening. Another try-out. Robert was sick of try-outs and, personally, I don't blame him. He did a fine job and was offered a spot on the LSA team too.
Now he has to decided - LSA or Legends.
