[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Is this Yorktown? [/quote]

Reports are that this happened this week. Several sophomores/juniors cut from JV and replaced by 8th and 9th graders. 9th, okay I get it. But 8th? Put them on the freshman team.

There is a group of 8th and 9th grade girls that are very good at VB and soccer. Many of these girls are also on that really good flag football team. Watch out for this to happen in soccer in the spring as well.[/quote]

No dog in this fight, but this really should not be allowed - 8th graders playing on JV. I understand 9th graders playing for their home school at any level or 8th graders potentially playing on the Freshman team, but my heart goes out to the Sophomore and Junior girls who were cut and replaced by 13-year-olds. Especially when volleyball teams are small to begin with.

The Arlington Coaches should know better and do better. [/quote]
Really have no dog in this fight, [b]but I think that the way coaches think of it is that jv is for 8-10 and varsity is juniors and seniors.[/b]  So if you aren’t good enough to make varsity your junior year, you should be cut.  That’s how it was explained to my daughter when she did crew as an eighth grader (a “no cut” sport, unless you are a junior/senior and don’t qualify for varsity).  [/quote]

Then why are there always 9/10th graders on Varsity? They coaches do whatever it takes to win, on period.[/quote]

they are saying once you have shown you are not varsity material, no pt in in taking up a JV spot from someone they havent seen yet[/quote]
