Is JV Team hard?

<p>My coach is putting pressure on me to try out for the tennis team.
Thing is I've only been playing for 4 months and tryouts are next month.
Is it possible to make it? At least in your experience how good are JV teams in general?</p>

<p>I think you should definitely try out! JV, atleast in my school, isn’t too hard to get into :slight_smile: Goodluck!! It’s better to go for it rather than regret not doing it later :D</p>

<p>Depends on the size and skill of your school, but I think it’s possible if you hit hard in this next month. In my school, people on JV had at least a couple years of experience, but nobody was really that good. Generally it’s the kids on varsity who have been playing since they were little. This is at a decent-sized school that wins most of its matches. As long as you know the basics and can keep the ball in play for a bit you should be fine. Don’t forget to spend a lot of time developing your serve as well. I think most JV teams are comprised of players who can keep the ball in play at a moderate speed, but many often aren’t that consistent.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Usually JV teams aren’t extremely hard to get on, but for me personally when I was on a JV team for my sport I was one of the better girls on my team, but also worked hard so that I could get on Varsity and I continue to work hard while on Varsity</p>

<p>How many teams do you have? At my school there was just a JV team and a Varsity team, I think JV was just everyone who tried out and wasn’t good enough for Varsity.</p>

<p>The skilled players will be on varsity, though if your school has tons of people good at tennis there might be varsity-level people on JV.</p>
