ok, here's my situation....
I coach at a small 1A high school with some soccer talent. Due to the way that 4A regions are paired up, it is impossible for us to get 4A teams to play us in the regular season. There are only three 3A teams with soccer within 2 hours. Our region consists of 3 teams including us.
Now, in order to get a full schedule, we have to schedule certain teams. We have a JV, home and travel varsity squad. For us, it is very important to have younger players get experience and to get our starters off the field against some of those teams in order to prevent ridiculous score lines, give the starters rest and prevent critical players from getting whacked.
You are telling me that (with sub limitations), i have to 1. leave starters in longer increasing the margin of victory 2. risk injury to key players 3. not be able to get younger players valuable playing time and 4. not be able to call up JV or less skilled player to give them the excitement of playing in a varsity match.
