[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid is loving the sport, like really into it, definitely Varsity. A lot of people are impressed with freshmen who make Varsity.  But if your kid is still exploring or not sure how into it they are, I'd say JV.  It's a bit less intense usually and sometimes less time too.  Being a Freshman on Varsity is more of a commitment.[/quote]

What does people being impressed have to do with anything?  Unless OP’s kid is literally so phenomenal that she simply *can’t* play with the JV kids anymore (which she’s not, because if she was she’d be a starter on Varsity) there is absolutely no reason to skip JV playing time and camaraderie with her similarly aged peers in favor of bench riding for far older girls - other than bragging rights, that is.

If she’s good enough to make varsity practice squad as a freshman, she’ll still be good enough to make varsity when it’s time to actually play varsity.[/quote]

Kids don't get the choice. You get the team you get. If a coach puts you on Varsity, it is a bad look to ask to be on Jv.[/quote]

Weird.  At my kid’s large high school there are separate tryouts for varsity and JV.  The teams have different coaches.  One coach doesn’t just assign everyone from some mass tryout to different teams.[/quote]

That's not how it worked at our high school.

There was one try out and you got placed by the coaches.

[b]But if what you say is true [/b]and i tried out for varsity and the coach offered JV, I would take the hint.  And vice versa.[/quote]

Seriously?  What possible incentive would I have to lie about such a thing?[/quote]
Sometimes people are mistaken.[/quote]
