Yeah my daughter’s team is really a JV team but is being required to play varsity because they have been in existence for 3 years, it’s stupid.
My daughter’s team is plucky but they are struggling
When I was a kid we must have set a record on my recreational soccer team by going 0-12 in one season and getting outscored by a margin of something like 75-5. One season later we were 12-0 and won our league championship. Go figure. LOL.
Our girls' school district was sort of the "Bad News Bears" of girls' sports - they were rarely competitive. But my girls enjoyed playing where at a school with a stronger program they would never have made the team. They worked hard, treasured their victories when they came, and moved on.
