My daughter plays on the 8th grade Blue team. Of the 22 or so girls on the team 75% of them have been playing on yellow Jacket since 5th grade. Of these 8th graders at least 7 are starting on their varsity high school teams and they are awesome athletes!!



isn't that the point, most girl's are playing since 5th grade, many are there by default. If they have enough girls that are good then they can keep a couple that really don't belong just to make the parents happy or because the coach is a friend or more likely the coachees daughter is a friend.. Meanwhile if an 8th grade girl is playing hs varsity then her school probably does not have a very strong team or many athletes to choose from. In our town, the very best 8th grader does not play even jv. They play middle school. It really is relavent. im glad that this is all behind me.
