Ah, I understand  .As long as freshman and JV teams have been mentioned: does it seem right to anybody that, if a JV team's starting lineup (in any sport but, for this example, baseball) would be mainly freshmen, the JV and freshman teams should play with identical or near-identical starters for every game? Let me explain more clearly. I played baseball as a freshman, and the freshman coach also coached the junior varsity team. As it turned out, most of the better players between the two teams happened to be freshmen, even though sophomores and juniors were also on the JV team. Instead of allowing all freshmen to be exclusively freshman players and allowing all others to be JV players, the coach decided that winning was more important; he played near-identical lineups for both teams, meaning that the same freshmen made up the entirety of the freshman team's starting lineup as well as a great majority of the JV team's starting lineup. Sophomores and juniors that truly had no chance of making varsity but might have played on a JV team were forced to sit, while "outstanding" freshmen played twice the number of games than they otherwise might have. It irked me a lot, and I decided not to join again as a sophomore. It's a shame that having dominant freshman and JV teams is so important...in fact, it's a bit ridiculous. The purpose of non-varsity squads is to support and encourage potential future contributors to a varsity lineup, no? |
