# Team Levels

1. <span style="font-weight: 400;"> **Varsity:** A varsity team is a highly-competitive environment, where the best players will garner most of the playing time. Playing time is NOT guaranteed. </span>
2. <span style="font-weight: 400;"> **Junior Varsity:** The junior varsity team is a high school team that will compete at the highest level possible, however, development will be a main concern. Playing time is still not guaranteed, but the focus is skill and strategy development.</span>
3. <span style="font-weight: 400;"> **Middle School A Team:** This is the highest level of the “feeder” system for middle school. Playing time is not guaranteed. This is generally an eighth-grade team. While skill and strategy development is important, team success is a focus.</span>
4. <span style="font-weight: 400;"> **Middle School B Team:** This is a developmental team. Most players should receive playing time, though not necessarily equal. The team usually consists of sixth and seventh graders.</span>
