A little OT but my bro had the same situation, except that he simply wasn't good enough at his chosen sport, football (soccer) even to be a sub for the second team.
So the school made him a "reporter". Bless. He got to go to all the games, and feel like he was a part of things, then wrote them up when he got back. He was damn good too, in fact for a while I was worried he might go into sports journalism. Worried because I was supposed to be the writer in the family.
Mons, that is truly a sucky situation. No advice, just sympathy for a boy who's learning early that life isn't fair.
