who cares about D2. and 3 , dont even waste your time

Yeah your right.. let me sell y house which is walking distance to the ocean so that I can send my kid to a large school thats in D1..

Makes Great sense ,Just be realistic with yourselves if your daughter is on the bubble between Varsity and JV don't push the envelope of having her play Varsity so you can sit in the stands and pound your chest that your daughter is wearing a varsity uniform at a younger age 7/8/9/10th grade such is like the majority of the parents we know that have their kids playing up on the big V and have turned into a total monster , like instances "without their daughter on this team" syndrome becomes unbearable , when they hardly are on the field or there was no other choice but to take that particular player do to a positional drought. You want as much playtime for your daughter as possible in game situations , but keep one thing in mind that 90% of your daughters skill advancement is from practicing not from games which at that time they need to apply what they learned from practicing against resistance . This can all be done at the age appropriate bracket , when they get into the Varsity level chances are they will supercede the ones who been there all along with minimal playtime.

That raises an interesting question....As a sub on a team with depth and obvious top line starters, what is the benefit of staying on the team, especially as a freshman or Sophmore? Wouldn't it be more beneficial to play for JV and possibly play every day, more reps, more exposure, etc!
Particularly at certain positions such as attack, goalie, etc. The only way to get better is to play in games and live action. All too often, I see parents make a stink and accept nothing less than having their kids on the "better" team, yet they don't play. This in no way helps the player better their skills and develop as a player.

You are a total D bag. Sorry your kid wasn't good enough to make YJ.

EVERYBODY makes the Yellow Jackets the have 5 or 6 teams in some ages!

Maybe I'm naive, but I would never call the AD or coach at my daughters HS in any sport and lobby for her to be on varsity. I've heard stories that this goes on everywhere but don't know what to believe. Anyone?

Trust me, it happens!!

In many towns younger girls are brought up to Varsity so they can scrimage full field. That kid is a practice body nothing more. If your daughter is brought up and starts or is first or second sub in the game then that kid is legit. Every town has girls on both sides. Its the parents that are delusional and its always the coach or AD's fault never the kids talent level.

You sir are a complete toolbag, please tell me 1 town where they bring kids up to varsity strictly to be a practice player.

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

I agree, but they do produce, or else they would never be able to field 6 teams. It will be my younger daughters first year on YJ. We chose this team because of their record and reputation of being the best, kind of like choosing 91 or express for boys.

You sir are a complete toolbag, please tell me 1 town where they bring kids up to varsity strictly to be a practice player.

Yellow Jackets varsity had a tough loss to Bayshore today.

Wow I must have struck a nerve? I guess little Suzie is on Varsity and it hurts too much to accept that she is just a practice body.

In response to the post of 8th gr filling roster based on need
Not ability - are u winning or losing - we have the
Same scenario in our district - 7th and 8th on
Jv - undefeated- I wouldn't say that's based
On need

Actually in our school district if a kid is going to be moved up it is only done if that kid is expected to get significant playing time ie 50 percent of game or they do not get moved up. If you were even vaguely aware of the recommendations by the state in regard to selection classification that almost all schools have adopted you would know that they expressly forbid teams from moving kids up just to fill out rosters.You seem like one of those cowards that like to try and knock kids , coaches, other parents behind their backs but too much of a wimp to express your concerns directly to them. The funny thing those people who you whine too know what a coward you are.

Our district has girls brought up, who barely play. It definitely depends on the school
