I have a child in middle school and the school spirit is there. In fact, his participation will no doubt help his entry into high school after another year of JV. As to middle school soccer....if your child is playing high level club ball at the U13 or U14 level HS JV would be a step down for them. The JV soccer conditions the athlete better but is only worthwhile if the coaching is quality. A parent coaching is not considered quality!
