I agree, my daughter was not chosen for varsity in 9th grade as she was away at an academic event and was upset that girls in her grade were chosen for varsity of the same level of play as her. mid season she was aproached by varsity coach to move up. I am proud to say her answer to the coach was I will move up to varsity if I get playing time but if you want to fill a bench position i will stay on JV as I like to play not watch. I was told this by JV coach not by my daughter. She is not one of the greats from other school district but loves to play. BTW her high school team has never had a win but she and her team mates never give up. let the girls have fun and enjoy
Her response or yours? Doubt a 9th grader uses terminology like "bench position" unless she has been riding it!
