What I meant by that is that some players are both physically and mentally ready for the challenge of playing at the varsity level as a young kid, while others are not.
I am guessing this must be a really small school if 7th graders can play varsity - what size is it? I have never seen a 7th grader who was ready to play varsity in my program, but our high school is 2000 kids!
No coach is doing a kid a favor by rushing him up to the varsity - sometimes having great success and dominating at the lower levels is better for the kid in the long run than struggling mightily and losing confidence with the big boys.
