Thank you for actually reading more than a headline.After reading more that the school is going to fight this case (poor job of skimming on me) and the mother is suing because there are different rules for the girls teams versus the boys teams.
I think this was a very bad lawsuit by the mother and could hurt the son overall in the school and community. That said, I agree the rules should be the same. I expect the boys team is more competitive then the girls and the coach uses his JV as a developmental squad of sophomores and freshmen to move up the ranks together. In soccer, playing together over time can really help competitively. There could be so many reasons why the child was not kept from skill level, team aspects, political, and more.
I do believe the school rules should be the same across the board. At the same time, very bad idea of the family suing. Just not what we should be trying to teach our children.

Sign of the times.
I suspect we will see similar suits as time goes on for schools who make cuts. So stupid.
Thank you for actually reading more than a headline.
Don't you guys know that 75% of the kids that don't make the team, or don't start, would be all Americans and have colleges lining up if the coaches just let them play?
Not sure there is a more thankless job that a high school coach. Thank goodness our head coach deals with most of it our I would probably throat punch someone! Haha

I agree with you Blu. It is wrong to keep him off a team he's skilled enough to make just because of his age. He should be allowed to tryout for the JV team. This seems like a reasonably solid age discrimination matter.According to the coaches on the JV team, he is good enough. He is just too old. But the same age restrictions are not in place for the girls' JV team. This is a gender/age discrimination suit. Not a "he's good enough to play on varsity" suit.
It's important, for the sake of discussion, that the lawsuit get's considered correctly.
As a parent, it's probably a good time to tell the boy that his dreams of playing high school soccer are over but that doesn't mean he has to stop playing soccer. He will be fine.
I get a little over $1k for a season that goes upward of 10 weeks depending on how deep into the playoffs we go. Between practice and game planning, 25ish hours a week, and that's not counting bus trips. I lose money after I pay for gas to get to practice every day haha.The per hour pay/supplement as its called here in PA is less then minimum wage for most sports. Yet, my community will b*tch when they see us approve the tax payouts.
