[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Freshman son is a GK on a competitive travel team and gets plenty of play time. He is also 1 of 3 GK on his high school JV team.

The Varsity team has 4 GK, 2 are sophomores that the JV coach apparently chooses to play 1 of them for at least half of the JV games instead of giving playing time to his 3 JV GKs.

Fundamentally I was surprised and more than a little disappointed that the Varsity GK are getting playtime on JV. It just doesn’t seem like good sportsmanship when the coach has a full roster and should be focusing on developing his roster of players. Playing devils advocate, if my kid was on Varsity, I wouldn’t support the JV coach playing him when he has 3 JV GK that come out to practice and suit up for every game. Is this just how HS Soccer works and why so many GK… 8 total between both teams. If a Varsity player is a 3rd or 4th string GK on Varsity then chose to play down on JV so the 2nd or 3rd string GK on JV don’t make the team and don’t waste their time practicing and suiting up for JV. Curious to hear what other parents think. [/quote]

Your kid is a freshman. Freshmen should expect to ride the bench. Seniority matters more in school sports [/quote]
