[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So just to clarify: your child's JV team - which will consist of all JV players - will play against other JV teams.  Games will not mix Varsity and Junior Varsity - they are like different leagues.  Some schools/sports may occasionally combine the two teams for some practices, but games will be either a JV game or a V game.  So your child's playing time will be based on his skill relative to the other JV players, not the varsity players.

As for next year, don't worry about that now.  Just take this year for what it is, a developmental year intended to build a team and develop the skills for each player.  At my DS's school, his sport includes juniors on the JV team if appropriate, but rarely seniors.  By 12th grade it's V or cut.  But it's different for every team.  FWIW, my 10th grader was really happy to stay on JV this year, he has a full class load and lots of extra activities, and isn't quite ready for the intensity of Varsity.  We will see what next year brings next year, not worried about that now.[/quote]

I don't think this is accurate.[/quote]

DP, but what part?  I can't see anything in the post that seems inaccurate or steers OP in the wrong direction.  [/quote]

That JV and varsity don't mix and are two entirely separate groups.

Talented JV players often play up on varsity.[/quote]

Original PP here.  I have seen that happen, but rarely - I guess it depends on the specific teams.  What I really meant, though, is that any given game will be either a Varsity game (with 2 Varsity teams paying each other, even if one or both pull a couple of JV players to temporarily join the V team) or a Junior Varsity game (with two JV teams playing each other). You won't have a game where a JV team is playing against a Varsity team, or games where the entire V & JV teams are thrown in at once. OP's son will be playing against other JV prayers, unless he specifically gets called to join the V team - he won't show up for a JV game and be faced with a field full of V players.[/quote]
