Our schools policy was quiet for years until some YJ parents brought it back to forefront with petitions for 7th and 8th graders to play varsity The parents thought the kids should be up because they have a bumper sticker.
I understand the call ups for roster need and ability but because you are a YJ?
A core contributer of a YJ blue or TG black team is a far cry from a lower 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th team player. 90% of YJ or tg or whatever travel club should not be pulled up. Many of the non travel kids are better than club kids on the lower teams. You also have issues with club directors telling kids and parents that their 7-8th grader should be playing varsity. Even read that recently I think on the TG thread. Guy above only had it half right, some town and districts do not have a good connection to the SCGL league and do not know what is coming down the pipes. Some of the town coaches and directors are the same exact people pressuring the varsity coaches and AD with their own kids and agendas.
Unfortunately the agendas run rampant. Our booster clubs are run by parents from the big girls and boys clubs. They are the ones planting the seeds about the players to watch
