SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Other Prep Sports JV Match Length Question

You're right Tim, but the point which I don't think I made is that I feel that a change of focus is needed within the JV game as a whole.

I think the definition of a successful JV team is a Varsity team that is achieving and exceeding its goals. By that statement I mean that the focus of a JV coach is to develop and produce players who can perform under varsity (and higher) conditions. The players need to be prepared for Varsity competition as much as possible but without a focus on game results. It is very similar to the academy system here in Europe; many top level teams are more concerned with who their academy team is beating rather than how many first team players their academy is producing... this is a pitfall into which I think most JV teams fall.
