[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, but if your kid didn't make the team last year, odds aren't great for making JV this year.  JV is to develop for varsity.  A kid that doesn't make JV as a sophomore probably isn't making varsity as a senior.  Not unless there is a new coach or there is some huge growth spurt/increase in ability.[/quote]

Yeah I realize the odds aren't great but DS hasn't hit a big growth spurt yet and is also relatively new to soccer so there is a lot of potential to grow! Anyway, point being it happens. With a lot of work there is always a chance.[/quote]
A big part of making a HS team is being known. Known to the coach but also known to the upperclassman and especially captains. Coaches lean heavily on their trusted varsity players to decide who to pick. The way to become known is to attend offseason workouts. Your son should talk to the coach to find out. Get to know the other players on the team. Unless your kid is an obvious standout, it's very hard to make enough of an impression just from a few days of tryouts.[/quote]
