It's hockey season and Avery doesn't have anywhere to play. She played here in town last year and this year there are not enough girls her age to play. We have talked, discussed, chatted, conversed about where she should play, if she should play. At the end of many of our discussions the outcome has been "no hockey this year". I cannot accept this, therefore I keep going back to our options. Avery did try out for one team, made the first cut and then got cut after two exhibition games. Come to find out they had the team made in the spring already but mislead us into thinking she had a chance. Such politics in hockey!
She could do swimming and soccer skills....but is that enough for the winter? Avery is such a laid back child, she would be happy playing and she'd be ok with not. This is not helping us make this decision. I don't think she realizes that if she doesn't play this year her hockey career would come to an end. This would be her second year and she would only improve throughout the year now that she knows what to expect. Missing a year at this age is huge and would hurt her skill-wise. The other girls would be stronger because they've played all year where Avery had not.
I hate being in this situation. Are we going to make the wrong decision/right decision? Isn't parenting great!

I know, who knew that seemingly simple decisions could be so difficult. I hope you come to a decision you feel good about soon.
