It’s very, very hard, especially when the peers who they’ve played with before stick together. It feels very isolating and I’ve seen it happen with my kid(in fact happened again this year).
I hate the process, it is generally quite flawed. That said, I always tell my kid once the season gets rolling you will be fine, let’s get after it and learn to work with some new people - that’s a life skill.
I won’t kid you, this doesn’t always work - if that team that he’s already unhappy to be in happens to be poorly coached, or just a crappy team environment overall it can make for a long season. Then you just take what you can from it
