[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]FCPS appears to be trending in the direction of not taking many 9th graders for varsity[/b]. Our volleyball team only took 1 player for V, 1 for JV. This allows more girls to participate.  We saw the same last year.[/quote]

Is this even legal?  Should the better player(s) get selected for Varsity, even if they are 9th graders?[/quote]

Or a coach can be following policy to include as many players at the school as possible. To achieve this, 9th graders stay on Freshmen. That allows upperclassmen to also be on teams. Win win for participation. [/quote]

The number of roster spots (and the number of girls participating) does not change based on which team freshman play on. Loading a freshman team with players who would otherwise play varsity or JV just means more freshmen get cut as opposed to upperclassmen.[/quote]

Assuming there is that much freshman interest.   Fielding a freshman team could be tough if they take the most competitive players and place them on Vars or JV and cut upper classmen for those players.   So effectively, it dilutes the freshman pool and cuts more people out of the game.[/quote]

There are always enough girls trying to to field freshman teams even with deep cuts. Most girls cut are freshman and sophomores coming off the freshman team. Once you cut a kid, they aren't coming back next year, they're running xc doing crew or not doing a fall sport [/quote]
