Other than the juggernaut schools like Riverside and Mauldin there really isn't a direct relationship between good varsity/good jv. There are some very good varsity programs that don't rely on JV to feed them. The girls just stay with club until the ninth grade. I personally think these programs do themselves harm eventually. Other programs like ours have had decent JV teams with mostly middle school talent while we have built our varsity up. Now these girls are playing varsity and doing well so far. We want to be like those teams that can restrict their varsity rosters to upper classmen and young superstars but that takes both great club participation and a strong JV.
