[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just play JV so she can continue to develop.  What is the point of riding the bench on a better team when you have the option to play on a “lesser” team?[/quote]

Practicing with varsity. If it's basketball, JV is glorified rec at most schools. You'd be better off riding the bench and practicing with varsity and getting minutes in AAU in the spring [/quote]

I think I agree with this. Practicing with varsity is better, for sure. But, will your kid get game time at all? Doesn't have to be starter. But riding the bench with no time would put me on the fence. However, maybe I'd do it if my kid was also on travel or league play and getting game touches there.

For us, my kid was a GK and worthy of varsity. And was "pulled up" for post season as a freshman. But, given there is only 1 GK on the field at a time, and a senior GK at the time, DC opted for JV where they got most of the playing time. But DC was also playing high level travel AND got to practice with varsity for part of the season. [/quote]
