Why Do So Many 8th Graders Play Varsity Ball?

SVLadiesFan Wrote:I disagree with you cavemaster. I think they should get playing time just because they come to every practice. It may give them the incentive to improve themselves. i don't mean put them in and let them loose the ballgame but let them in to learn and build confidence. some of the best players don't have the heart of some of the girls on the bench. some girls are just naturally better in some sports than others. the girl on the bench might love the game better but don't have that natural ability.
I can understand letting the better ball players play but i also say put those girls on the bench in for different reasons. be fair to these girls.
i know at one school that they never put the freshman and sophmores in to play just the junior high players. now this is JV okay. so now they don't have any upper classman to play becuase they were not fair to these girls.

Basketball games can be won or lost in the three minutes that an inferior player is on the floor. It is imossible to hide a less than skilled player in basketball. Here is a hard truth: hard work and love for the game sometimes don't bridge the talent gap. If life were fair, a bird wouldn't eat an earthworm...it's not fair to the worm.
