I'm torn on this as well. I understand and am willing to make concessions for early leaving of practice...but leaving games for VB practice is going a bit to far and I'm just not quite sure how to deal with it. If we had alot of pitching it would be a little easier, but that isn't the case.
The main thing is for the coach to be consistent.
Having a revolving door policy that changes depending on the player or who the team is they are playing is what gets coaches in hot water.
At the preseason team meeting with the parents and players as the coach goes over eligibility information they should also lay out their expectations (whatever they may be) and manage to those expectations.
If a coach does not have any issues with Varsity players missing practice or leaving games early for other activities that is their decision however;they cannot get upset when others start to do the same?
JV is a great option for players that want to just be part time.
