DD is a freshman and is on the JV team. They only had 8 games scheduled to begin with, they played the first one three weeks ago. The second on was scheduled for last Monday in a varsity-JV DH, and the other team's coach said their JV team "wasn't ready" to play, so they didn't get to play. (My theory is they just wanted to get home to watch the Broncos game.) Game 3 was scheduled for today and they rode the bus 45 minutes to the other school and found out the other school doesn't actually have a JV team and their varsity team was off at a road game. The next two games are tomorrow and later this week. I did check on maxpreps and the other schools both actually have JV teams, so hopefully they'll get to play.
The girls are in their sixth week week of practice and it would be nice if they could get rewarded with some games. Our school didn't even have a JV team for 3 or 4 years, so we're happy they even have one this year, but it's very frustrating they have so few games. Only 3 of the JV girls had any significant experience before this year (5 or 6 literally never played at all),and there's no replacement for real game experience.
I know there are a lot of good things for DD - she's getting to practice at a higher level, she's getting the experience of being one of the best players and being a team leader for the first time, and she's the only JV pitcher so she's getting all the circle time. And she's having fun
Please don't say she should have just worked harder to make varsity. That's her goal for next year, but was never a possibility this year with the talent they have on varsity. I'm just venting about them not getting to play many games because that's the reward for all the hard work in practice.
