Just curious of opinions and experiences here. I know every school is different.
Our HS JV has become a place where lesser players go, and they rarely progress to Varsity. We have 3 of 15 Varsity players that spent time on JV, one of whom would likely still be on JV if she was not a senior. Only 3 JV players are returners from last year and only 1 moved up to varsity. Basically it becomes clear to most of them they will never move up.
Meanwhile we have 4 freshman on Varsity, 2 last year, and 4 the year before that. All of them are experienced TB players.
So...does your program develop JV to V as they get older, or are they bypassed?
