[Alberta's Child]

I should have referenced this in my previous post. That's exactly what I'm referring to. It sounds to me like those two teams have no business competing on the same field. Looking back at the sports we played as kids, one of the things I find fascinating about it is that we'd rarely ever end up in situations where one team would consistently beat another by lopsided margins. That's because we tended to gravitate to groups of kids with similar skills and abilities.

When you think about it, it makes sense. The team that loses by a 20-1 score is likely to be demoralized, but the team that wins isn't really getting any better in the process, are they?

Yeah my daughter’s team is really a JV team but is being required to play varsity because they have been in existence for 3 years, it’s stupid.

My daughter’s team is plucky but they are struggling

And we didn’t have Title X requiring girls’ teams when I was a kid, none of us girls were on a team. We had to play field hockey in gym class and the big girls bowled us over.
