[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]
