varsity at his high school is about the players who have paid their dues ??? .........what is paying your dues? Been out awhile but you play the best players. Say a kid tries out for the team senior year and he is a real good player better than some who have paid their "dues" As a coach you do not play him? Many years ago brought up some JV players because some players who "paid their dues" were playing like crap. loss after loss. News flash you have to earn playing time . Just because you made the team and are an upperclassman does not guarantee your playing time. At least in my opinion. Of course that may be old school and what do old school guys know?
