PVI has the top JV team as well. Riverside is the next best JV team.

Have they played yet?

Yes PVI won

Thanks. Score and do you know if either side had guys out?

Who cares about JV! That is a developmental league... its about the kids having fun and learning the game.

Indy over Robo by 2-3
Madison over Yorktown by 5-6
PVI over Battlefield by 10+
Langley over BI by 2-3

This all seems reasonable to me.

Too much on the Madison/ YT game, maybe 2-3
Too much on the PVI game, PVI by 5+
BI will beat Langley
Indy by 1-3

Madison will beat Yorktown. Could be by 3, could be by 5.
Yorkotwn and Battlefield are pretty comparable and PVI just put up 20 on Yorktown. PVI will kill Battlefield.
Langley/BI will be a good game. Depends on who shows up for each team.
Indy will be Robinson by a few.

Yet, here you are posting. The kids and parents can care about JV just as much as V which by your rules no one should care about either. But, here you are.

To the PP the scores are posted on VEL. From what I understand the PVI team is talented but undersized as they have more 8th grade players than most teams. As a PVI V parent with another possible future PVI player I care. PVI did not field a JV team in the past and the fact they are playing well is very important to the future of the PVI program. In fact, I would dare say it is one of the most important developments of the fall for any school considering they did not field a JV team last Spring.

I was with you until you said it's one of the most developments of the fall for any school. Lots of schools are in the same boat in developing a JV.

You are correct every team that has a JV team is developing the team and for most this is their first experience outside of NVYLL. However, when was the last time that Robinson, Madison, Langley, ect or any top HS program did NOT field a JV team. Last season PVI did not have enough kids for JV which would be a concern for the future. There mere fact they could field a JV team is a fall development that I think is important for any program. Look at is this way, if PVI went back to back seasons without a JV team that would be a story.

Believe it or not, there are teams and sometimes good ones that have trouble fielding jv. And often players are recruited to play internally, their 1st time with a stick.

So a story -- PVI had a roster posted from last year as of just a few weeks ago. Rather than give the version I've heard 1st, which is likely incomplete and 2nd or 3rd hand, you may have the floor initially -- why didn't that roster play?

I may have the floor initially? The JV team did not play last season. New coaching staff as former coaching staff left just before school started. Hard to have a team and no coach. Also yes some teams have an issue fielding a team but the season prior PVI was the #1 team the State. Not too many top teams fail to field a JV team.

OK, thanks, that's some of it. So there was, in fact, a JV team of players. In your view, why were they unable to hire a coach in 5-6 months? Or multiple coaches, for that matter?

And again, there are good teams that are having difficulty fielding a JV team.

So last year, PVI technically had a JV team that they selected, and they told them that they would play a few games against some of the less-skilled teams in the area, because the JV team was not very good. (I am leaving out of bunch of drama here because I'm trying to be a good person, and it's in the past. IYKYK.) However the JV team's games never got organized and done. Those boys pretty much stopped going to practice as well. Head coach is also the coach of everyone's club team and he's just more focused on doing that. Kind of a bummer but oh well.

People are not knocking down the door to coach JV for what would be a volunteer status. Name a top team that did not field a JV last season.

The issue I see is that there is no guarantee those 8th graders playing for PVI will actually go to PVI.

Maybe y’all should start a VEL JV thread?

Unless you would like your undersized PVI 8th graders to play in the VEL Black division that this thread is supposed to be about.

When did PVI add an 8th grade to the school?

It didn’t. But many schools play 8th graders who are zoned for their school with the expectation they will be on the team next year. But for a private school, you can’t count on the 8th graders playing in a fall lacrosse league to actually go to the school.
