Making sure they know defensive positions, different sets and plays, can read hitters, etc., are things to work on at the JV level so that when players GET to varsity, they are already comfortable with them and can work on "higher level" skills. If a player is good enough to play on the varsity team but are still playing JV, I think they are taking playing time away from the girls who need that JV time to work on the skills needed to be a varsity player in the future.
nicely put. i agree with you. Its not fair to take away JV players time by filling there spot with someone who could be playing varsity...just sometime the need to play both, just how it works
