We live in a small community and there is a hobby ds does that is ran by the community rather than a big organisation and one man with a son the same age has taken over as the leader. He isn't friendly or talkative but he seems to be keen.
He has own son doing the best activity each week with all his friends. Our son is left with younger children and when dh asked he said our son is weak ability (he is exactly the same as the others and obviously I'm proud of him and love him so don't want him left out)
So he put our son in with the good group and then took his own sons and friends to the younger weaker group as if deliberately.

Maybe that makes no sense. But he has taken a dislike to our son or something. He is a happy well behaved child. His son is slightly older. Louder and a big mors aggressive but I don't really care about that. Every child is different

We are talking 6 and 7 year olds here. There is no need for this at all Sad

This person is local to the area born and bread. Is head of a few committees. We are quieter more deserved people but it's all about a fair chance. It's not a competitive sport at this young age.

If it’s cricket, move club. The competition for County places starts verrrrry young and if it’s that kind of club you’ll find the atmosphere just gets worse as they get older and actual competition ramps up.

Interested in this thread?

Same as above if it’s football, although in my experience football is competitive at that young age, not least amongst the parents.

It's football
I'm going to leave it for now but it says a lot about a man to do this to a 6 year old child who wants to be with his friends. To move him to the other group but then change groups himself and bring the friends with him says a lot.

Small community run things can be brilliant but they can also attract exactly the wrong type of person too. If it’s the wrong club for your son then don’t ruin his confidence by having an adult who should be encouraging them all to have fun and work on improving their skills separate him off with a younger age group for no reason.

You could join as a coach or move club, whichever is more sensible.

Dh is a coach there but on a different pitch with a younger child (that's how he spotted what was going on)
We cannot move club but there is another football group starting up (soccer) so we will encourage him with this. It's very well run with no favouritism. It's just the main football club is his favourite. I will keep up the skills over the summer too to help him along. He is younger than others.

Thanks so much. It's so kind to answer back. These little things are annoying in life. I don't want him to be the best at everything just included and happy.
