[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sports is a huge friend group in HS. Leaving will change that for her. No advice other than there are unintended consequences of leaving. [/quote]

She has a couple good friends that chose not to continue soccer and actually, 2-3 of her friends made the varsity team.  She only has a couple friends on the JV team.

My point is this shouldn’t be an issue since her good friends won’t be on JV.[/quote]

IME JV and varsity hang around. But your experience could be different.

FWIW, my kid didn’t make a coveted spot in their sport this year and wanted to quit. I asked for alternative plans that didn’t involve cellphones and other electronics. My kid chose sports because they couldn’t come up with a better plan - and is not disappointed by the choice though still working through feelings. [/quote]

Varsity and JV don't really hang around.

[quote=Anonymous]How is the team? Same thing happened at our school but every game was a blowout- won all games by huge margins—11-0, 5-0, etc.  The kids decided the time commitment required for getting zero out of it with a tough academic important year and playing for a strong club team: it would have been pointless and taken time that wasn’t there.[/quote]

The team is about average - same as the varsity team.

[quote=Anonymous]Is she on a club team? If so, I’d just do that and not JV.[/quote]

No club team.  She's not a year around type of player.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bs/Cs?! she should do tutoring after school and not soccer.  Junior year is the most important.  [/quote]

That’s not really fair. Not everyone is capable of As and not every parent has money and transportation for tutoring. [/quote]

Thank you.  Some people have an odd perspective on things.[/quote]

Without even a club team, she should be happy she made JV. [/quote]

+1. This is sadly the reality in HS soccer. We only know of 1 who didn’t play club when my son was on JV last year.  As a junior, this player didn’t make varsity and was sent back to JV. He was incredibly lucky to make the JV team at all. There are others who play club who didn’t. Now he’s probably quitting which is a shame since he took a spot from another student who would have loved to play. [/quote]
