@BB328 posted:My son is a freshman and I am new to this. I am wondering why and how the hs teams play in tournaments. To my knowledge neither our JV or varsity plays in anything but league play. Our program seems much less intense than others. Even winter workouts were basically about 6 weeks once or twice a week in the gym. Does it depend on the coach whether they are willing to put in the extra time? Or the school budget?
If you want good feedback you need to provide more information. What part of the country do you live in? What size HS does your son attend??
It astounds me that people make generic posts, with no details, and expect helpful comments. That’s not how it works!
