Thanks Sandy!
Fact check. Not all.

Wrong - not all. Some on JV

This brings up an interesting point? Which is better; varsity spending the majority of the time on the sidelines or JV where these kids will get plenty of playing time? Let’s be honest very few freshman will be seeing the field much unless your Spalding where they lost so many seniors last year.

Think it depends entirely on the kid.
-Some kids will respond well to the intensity at practice and up their game to prove themselves and also play against much better players than they are. Playing time isn’t the measuring stick of growth for these types
-Other kids need the confidence of making it onto the field for games more and grow their abilities, leadership, and teamwork
Each kid is different and hopefully they can communicate with the parents to help them make the best decision for them

Actually, it depends on the coach. You can have JV coaches that have no clue what they are doing. They yell at ninth grade kids, and think that that is going to make them better. Anyone with a clue knows that ninth grade is a transitional year and a very high percentage of children leave sports because of their experience in ninth grade. If you have a JV coach that doesn’t understand the psychology of ninth grade boys then they will be leaving this sport despite the experience. Even those that are have high quality, athletic ability and high game IQ, kids are not willing to put up with a JV coaches that know nothing about the game. In fact, there are many JV athletes that know more than the JV coach because no one thinks that it is important to put in the effort to that age level. Practicing with varsity would be more worthwhile than playing every minute of JV when the coach is clueless. My kid would sit the bench on varsity than practice with JV- the coaching is that non-existent.
