DS has started his new school and all going well. It's rugby season, and he has always hated rugby (dislikes pain 
) but is pretty competent and has lots of contact/ match experience from his old school. To be very clear, I don't think he will ever be A team material, so I don't feel I'm being pushy like 'that'.
It's very clear that lots of the boys haven't even played before, and he's been finding the training a bit boring as it is 'how to hold a rugby ball', but is determined to stick with it. He missed pre-season training selection as we were away on holiday, booked before we knew. I checked with the coach and he said it was constant assessment and match play.
So, after the school's first match (randomly allocated teams) where he got a couple of good runs and drew some comments, I felt he would probably make the C/D team.
As it happens, he has been left unallocated (not even on a team), and some of the boys who haven't ever played (some literally didn't even know which way to pass the ball) are above him in teams.
I've sent a query to head coach to ask if he can explain why this is, but I'm also not wanting to be a PITA pushy new parent. At which point do you become 'too pushy'? Would you have said something?
I just think it's all a bit shit.
