[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know the origin/intent of this policy bc it seems more applicable to boys’ sports like football where there are more positions to fill as opposed to women’s volleyball where the teams are much smaller and demand is much higher especially at large high schools like Yorktown, Langley, Wakefield etc. If a school of over 2000 students has a volleyball team of +/- 40 spots between freshman, JV and Varsity it does seem pretty inequitable to make sophomores compete against all grades plus now 8th graders too. Why can’t the 8th graders have their own MS teams? [/quote] How are we even certain that these middle schoolers will go to the high school they are playing for? They might go private or apply to TJ or the IB program. My solution to the lack of spots would be to allow more volleyball teams in HS instead of persisting with the team cut culture. The priority should be participation in fitness promoting activities.[/quote]
