[quote=Anonymous]My kid's school has only Freshmen and Sophomores on JV. The tryouts were rigorous and no nonsense. Yet there were still 1-2 players who were sick or out for the final tryouts who made the team. My kid said they earned the spot through other summer activities though. I mean, HS sports teams can be competitive, despite the DCUM posters who poo poo them as midling. I think the predominant philosophy of serious coaches is that the better kids need to be on the team, and more time to develop is better. So if a really good Sophomore and a so-so Senior try out, the Sophomore wins that battle. The harder calculation is when you have a very good JV player who could move up, but wouldn't play much. But I trust the coaches to work it out. [/quote]
