[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sports is a huge friend group in HS. Leaving will change that for her. No advice other than there are unintended consequences of leaving. [/quote] She has a couple good friends that chose not to continue soccer and actually, 2-3 of her friends made the varsity team. She only has a couple friends on the JV team. My point is this shouldn’t be an issue since her good friends won’t be on JV.[/quote] IME JV and varsity hang around. But your experience could be different. FWIW, my kid didn’t make a coveted spot in their sport this year and wanted to quit. I asked for alternative plans that didn’t involve cellphones and other electronics. My kid chose sports because they couldn’t come up with a better plan - and is not disappointed by the choice though still working through feelings. [/quote] Varsity and JV don't really hang around. [quote=Anonymous]How is the team? Same thing happened at our school but every game was a blowout- won all games by huge margins—11-0, 5-0, etc. The kids decided the time commitment required for getting zero out of it with a tough academic important year and playing for a strong club team: it would have been pointless and taken time that wasn’t there.[/quote] The team is about average - same as the varsity team. [quote=Anonymous]Is she on a club team? If so, I’d just do that and not JV.[/quote] No club team. She's not a year around type of player. [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bs/Cs?! she should do tutoring after school and not soccer. Junior year is the most important. [/quote] That’s not really fair. Not everyone is capable of As and not every parent has money and transportation for tutoring. [/quote] Thank you. Some people have an odd perspective on things.[/quote] Without even a club team, she should be happy she made JV. [/quote]
