What is with the desperation to get into an event that has truly no significance at this age? Let this be a learning experience for your kid one way or another. The parents who make phone calls and meddle are everywhere in the lax community, but they're doing such a disservice to their kids in the long run. Eventually they will all reach a level where they will have to handle challenges and make it on their own merits.
