News flash! you don’t get better playing on varsity you get better working on your own and training in the off-season! That’s why you’re on JV!

That’s not true at sssas. There is no space on varsity and will be no space next year. Even if there were space KJ doesn’t
sub. Rising sophomores are really screwed. Even if you’re on a top club team how do you get recruited if you’re on JV?

Looks like players at the IAAM schools area able to get recruited just fine, even if they don't get to play Varsity until they get to Junior year. SSSAS players have the same argument. Helps if the team wins their conference or state and stays nationally ranked.

Because girls get recruited based on their club play, not their high school play.

Yes but it doesn’t look good for recruiting to be on JV

This is not believable. Key words are “just fine.” List the colleges that girls who don’t play varsity until Junior year are committing to. And also as noted through the last several pages of this thread sssa is neither a conference or state champion and hasn’t been the past couple years.

UVA
Cornell
Mercer
Fairfield
Tampa
Vanderbilt and we could keep going SSSAS's track record still stands even after a rough year

What will be telling is if any of the A team players who go to SSSAS get cut from their Travel team because they fell behind their teammates by playing JV. I think they only have a few but if they can’t make varsity then I don’t see how they can compete with the girls that did.

What clubs do most girls from SSSAS play for?

This conversation only really applies to SR, GC and SSSAS. Most of SSSAS, GC and SR JV would make the rest of the ISL's varsity teams.

Those rankings don't mean a whole lot now and won't next year when they will falter in post season again because of it.

Not quite sure the “fluffy” regular season schedule is what caused their poor performance in the playoffs. These girls are exhausted. The season is very long and when you combine that with preseason, it is a super long season of lacrosse. It is both a mental and physical challenge. After a rough loss against SR in the championship I have no doubt the Saints girls were not just mentally out of it. Don’t really know who else you want them to play as they are required to play everyone in the ISL AA division and most VISSA opponents. I would love to see all you parents that are judging and criticizing their season, go out there and play for 6 months straight.

Such a typical Saints blow hard dad excuse and deflection. KJ chooses her schedule, particularly her Spring Fling opponents. Langley - "Come on man". As far as the other excuses and deflection, they are garbage. SR, Visi and PMAC all endure the same season and travails. Your self-worth shouldn't be so tied to your daughter's team's success or failure.

Hey Potomac dad: It wasn't a Saints dad who called you that. It was a Potomac parent--just so you know.

Because they would make varsity at any other school. Just not sssas.
