[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For putting multiple 8th graders on Arlington County high school JV teams (not even freshman teams!) and bumping hardworking sophomores/juniors who now can’t play for their *actual* school.

13-year-olds shouldn’t be on a high school JV team when there are only 12 spots.

And shame on the coaches for enabling this. [/quote]

ITA. This is when many Sophomore/Junior players start recruiting and the JV high school coaches should have used more common sense. [/quote]

Do many juniors who play JV and are worse than 8th graders get recruited? This is a surprise to me. [/quote]

Exactly.  If an 8th grader beats out a 9/10th grader, then it's an unlikely that kid will get in front of a recruiter.  And what recruiters go to JV games anyway?
Full disclosure: my DD was an 8th grader on a JV softball team at YHS.  I do think it's odd that they aren't restricted to the freshman team if there is one, but it just sounds like a lot of sour grapes.  The 8th graders that came after my DD were a killer group and we knew that some of them would make varsity ahead of her.  [/quote]

No dog in this fight but 8th graders are not high schoolers. They by rule should be barred from playing. [/quote]
