I agree, the 2 quarters of JV discouraged my daughter from playing basketball this year. It's a lot of hard work and a long season to know that you're only going to get a couple minutes of playing time when the "jv team" only plays 2 quarters and varsity players are getting some of that time also. She invests most of her time into another sport, but she misses it this year.baseball16 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 30, 2018 6:26 am 2 qtr JV games are played for the following reasons:
1: Lack of Numbers 12 or less in the HS
2: Lazy Coaches
I believe if you have 6 girls you play a full JV game. Too many coaches are wanting to only play 2 qtrs so they can get out "early" and get home. If coaches have this thinking they should get out and let someone who wants to put time into the program. JMO. It's a lack of respect to the JV girls who also put time in the summer and winter months.
Why are 2 teams with 15+ girls on their roster not playing a full JV game? I understand if the numbers are low, but that wasn't normally the case for us last year.Jar wrote: ↑Fri Nov 30, 2018 7:46 am It’s not laziness. It’s the 5 quarters only per night rule. Usually two of those girls dress varsity and COULD be needed to sub in during the varsity games. Solution: JV boys and girls on Mon and Thursday night and Varsity Girls and Boys on Tuesday and Friday nights.
Quarter Limitations, a coach has to prepare on the side of caution for an injury and foul trouble and quarter limitations restrict that somewhat.Browns30 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 30, 2018 8:24 amWhy are 2 teams with 15+ girls on their roster not playing a full JV game?

Don't allow your varsity players to play in the JV game... plain and simple. If you have 15+ players, you should have a JV team and a varsity team.father time wrote: ↑Fri Nov 30, 2018 8:27 amQuarter Limitations, a coach has to prepare on the side of caution for an injury and foul trouble and quarter limitations restrict that somewhat.Browns30 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 30, 2018 8:24 amWhy are 2 teams with 15+ girls on their roster not playing a full JV game?

I just dont believe every team and every night is always the same, difficult to predict how things will go on any given nightBrowns30 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 30, 2018 8:30 amDon't allow your varsity players to play in the JV game... plain and simple.

I blame the administration and AD for allowing that to happen. But Trust me, many administrators and AD want a short night as well. !! Sad but true!!tomcat wrote: ↑Fri Nov 30, 2018 11:11 am I watched a jv game last year that had 8 girls on one team and 7 on the other. When varsity played only 2 players dressed from the 15, and those 2 did not play. Very stupid only playing 2 quarters. And you wonder why numbers have are low? This happened when both teams played that year.
