[quote=Anonymous]As an aside - tryouts for high school sports very often are geared to age/grade. Freshmen for freshmen, JV for sophomores (and freshmen if no freshmen team), varsity for juniors and seniors. It is easier for girls to play “up” as they often are the same size freshmen to senior. That is not the case with guys. Socially mixing one or two freshmen and sophomores with juniors and seniors is also asking for trouble. There are exceptions and a lot depends on the talent pool coming into the school. But, it is not a surprise to hear that x did not make varsity as a freshmen or sophomore even though they are very good. It’s not “politics”. It’s safety and recognizing that having a decent maturity mix is a good thing. [/quote]
