Not in some schools. Parents play the game the right way with the coach and kids that weren't even impact players in middle school and play on low level club teams are being pulled up.
a lot of it has to do with exactly that.
In Sayville, the coach brought up six 8th graders last year because they played on the assistant coach's YJ team. There was clearly an arrangement between the asst. coach and the parents that if they came to his team then he would bring them up. Now the assistant coach is gone and the varsity team is stuck with the girls. FYI; Last year their JV team beat their Varsity team in a scrimmage because the head coach overlooked a lot of talented girls. There will be some very unhappy parents when their kids lose their spots to the girls who should have been brought up last year. Talk about a disaster.
Not true ony 4 of the girls who were brought to JV were on his YJ team, the others were from other teams. Coach is still there, just left his YJ coaching. No one is going to lose positions, because they graduated several senior starters and some girls are not coming back out for the team. Team still wont have a winning record with all those super freshman.
Super freshmen? Thanks for the scouting report mom. Any time Sayville is mentioned here it is in a negative manner. The coach must not be able to develop girls if he/she keeps bringing up 7th and 8th graders. That's why that program is completely irrelevant now and will be for the foreseeable future. Strong programs are built by exceptional coaches. Weak programs are brought down by incompetent ones.
