[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing to note as well, is even if your child is recruited and admitted, they may not see much playing time at first in HS—especially for freshmen that make varsity. Kids get so excited to play varsity early but it’s worth considering starting in JV to get more playing time and have more teammates in their own grade. [/quote]

If your kid is considered catholic for tuition purposes (that's the standard that I've heard about for WCAC recruited, but not star athletes), they play wherever the coach tells them to play[/quote]

OP here,

My kid would be considered Catholic for any purposes (goes to Mass, believes, has all the age appropriate sacraments), but wouldn't any kid who was considered coachable enough to be recruited expect to do what the coach tells him to do?  Why would this be a rule for the Catholic kids?

I am having trouble imagining my kid making either JV or varsity and then telling the coach they want the other.  [/quote]

Coaches at our schools talk through the ramifications of a freshman playing on varsity prior to finalizing that--discussion is around freshman spending so much time with older kids, etc.[/quote]

I get that I am still baffled what being Catholic has to do with it.

PP said that if you are considered Catholic . . . My kid would be considered Catholic.  What does that have to do with anything?  [/quote]
