One has to wonder how many of these LI 7th graders actually deserve to play up on JV / Varsity. I think most of these kids parents are delusional.
JV I think yes - if you have a talented player who plays all year round middle school can be very unchallenging Varsity is another matter -7th grade girls are usually not big enough to go against a junior senior girl and can get hurt - there are exceptions of course and what i have seen is the 7th grader playing only offense as a midfielder the problem is coaches and clubs and parents are pushing to put 5-6 year varsity starter on the resume are parents delusional? of course they are!
