Answer 3

The first thing most people notice about Varsity is how fast the play is.  Not only are the players fast, everything happens quickly.  Players also go in harder and hit harder.  The refs overlook most minor fouls.  Be careful in not overexerting yourself in JV.  If you are starting for Varsity, then you won't play a ton of JV.  If you are just a benchwarmer for varsity, then keep a good attitude, which is key.

Answer 4

Have CONFIDENCE! you shouldn't be asking questions like this. If you don't have confidence, you have nothing. If your coach is putting you on varsity, he has faith in you and your ability. You've got to match him for that. Good Luck.
