Always keep in mind that JV is about preparing for varsity -so work on fundamentals, fundamentals and then fundamentals. Also, keep in mind that the grade mix of jv programs can be substantially different from school to school. Some, with strong varsity programs, may have mainly 10th and 9th graders on jv and only a couple of 8th graders.Other schools with weaker varsity teams may have only a few 10th and 9th graders and be comprised mainly of 8th graders. So take your losses with a grain of salt in that case.
