[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It does seem like they should be developing 9th graders on the JV teams and not throwing them over for skilled 8th graders. Or if they NEED more bodies (like they can't field a team) then it would make sense. But if enough 9th/10th graders show up to fill the team, they should work with them. Mine are younger so I don't have a dog in this fight yet. [/quote] Just wait. You will understand. Your thinking would be the equivalent of circa 1995 thinking. If you want your kid to play in HS in the big HS, he or she better be playing on some level of travel team to start the development process. HS don't want to work that hard in the starting stages, they want kids on their way. I don't like it as much as you do but that's the game now...particularly in a county like Arlington.[/quote]
