It's like this everywhere now. The coaches allow the parents to have heavy involvement because the parents pay the coaches. In my town there are no try outs anymore. The team is picked before the first practice including what underclassman move up. No opportunity to compete for spots or playing time anymore.
If Chaminade is going to allow this BS, then they should allow 9th and 10th graders to play up on Varsity, which is very mild in comparison to paying off the JV coaches. How the JV coaches are ok with opening themselves up to such criticism for a few extra bucks is beyond me. Somebody should alert the school's AD.
You people don't understand. It's not that they cant play varsity, its that they are not better than the upper classman. Just because in public school they throw your kid on varsity to keep you happy, they aren't concerned here.
Your avoiding and trying to deflect the conversation from the issue of the day - indefensible pay for play and exclusionary clinics held by JV coaches.
No. No deflecting. I agree completely that is ridiculous. But everyone knows it when they sign up for Chammy, KBerg and St Anthonys ! Go Express !!
(Freshman still shouldn't be on varsity )
You can't make a blanket statement that freshmen shouldn't be on Varsity, my son is starting as a freshman, he was the leading scorer during scrimmages and has 6 points in his first two games. If a kid can contribute on Varsity, why should he regress on a JV or Fresh/Soph team because of his age. I thought schools were supposed to be challenge our children in all aspects.
Great for your son. He is certainly the exception. What top 10 school in the country is he the leading scorer for as a freshman?
