JV Players verses Varsity
#1
I was wanting information on how does a very good JV player get skipped past during Varsity games. Especially when you have varsity players injured on the sidelines. These players make multiple TD's during JV games. Are stated as the fastest player on the field. They play the same ones over and over and never give the good JV players a chance. They are good enough to play on special teams. But not given a chance to run the ball, EVER.

Varsity is alot different then jv. Them jv players will get their chance when the coach thinks that they an step up and fill a varsity role.

How does this "very good JV player" practice? Is he afraid of contact against the varsity players? Does he give his all in practice? Does he fumble the ball when he does run the ball in practice? Will he run the ball between the tackles or does he try to bounce everything outside?There's not a doubt in my mind that if you answer these questions that I asked honestly you will find your answer.
This is the second time that you've brought this up so it's obvious you have an agenda. If you're so concerned about this "very good JV player" why don't you just ask his coaches instead of getting on here and hiding behind a user name trying to stir up some stink. Some people seem to forget that there's no I in team. Rolleyes

Show these players what they need to do to improve. Give them chances. No one expects to throw a game. But game experience is sometimes needed to improve a player. Give them something to feel good about.

In my experience, JV is an extremely different ball game than Varsity. My sophmore year i was doing great on JV and then my coach tried me on varsity one night and i didn't expect that it would be as different but it was. Alot of JV players aren't well at playing under pressure as well.

Good point. JV is a another world compared to Varsity.

I sucked as a JV player. Then as fate would have it, a couple of varsity players got hurt and coached called on me. I was scared to death. Then they called my number. I ran for 75 yds on 5 carries with 1 TD. It was just so different, running behind some real good blockers. From that point on, I gained a lot of confidence. I was still just an average JV player but everytime I got to go in on varsity, I played better. I guess I just trusted the varsity line more...I don't know.
