She had a fall sport so only went sporadically.

I think Woodson is also hard to make for girls. There are only 12 slots on each team and I don't see any freshman on the varsity roster from last year.

I would agree, it's tough. In our 3 years (so far) I think have seen 2 freshmen make our varsity. Likely one will this year.

+1

I would think your kid would need to be a standout on their AAU team to make varsity, but it is very school specific.

Nothing is wrong. She was curious about her prospects, that's all. And as a family we were wondering how things worked for those Freshmen making Varsity.

Freshman is really bad. JV has a good chance of eventually making varsity

Did she play in the Fall League? It's usually a pretty good indicator (but not foolproof) whether she played in the V or JV games. Has she been to any Green Days?

Why is she so anxious to get on varsity as a freshman? There is time for that in the future.

Even on the girl end? I know for boys it's competitive.

It depends on the school. Madison girls is going to be as hard to make as any team for any sport for either gender. Others will be relatively easy

Do freshmen getting on Varsity usually have indication before tryouts?

My DD is trying out. She's 9th grade and has AAU experience. She was middle of the pack for her team. She wants to make the Varsity team. Will that be possible? She hasn't received any indication from the coaches during the pre-season workouts. Do freshmen usually know beforehand if they'll get asked to play Varsity?
