[quote=Anonymous]Hello from Falls Church City, where the physically connected MS and HS and the unified bell schedule (not to mention the small size) make eighth graders on JV a regular thing. Not sure if it’s a feature or a bug. Coaches have more options during tryouts and larger teams (swim, XC, track, football) can be more robust. Players get a chance to really step up their skills. Parents enjoy one year less of having to drive their kid to practices and games. But coaches have to be careful about injury prevention (8th grade JV football players vs. 10th grade football players???). And the looooong bus rides to away games are tough on study and sleep habits. Parents of 8th graders, go into this with your eyes open. [/quote]
