At my HS, Freshmen were part of the JV team. The JV season is not as long as Varsity so you were on the JV team until that season was over and then moved up to Varsity for the remainder of the Varsity season.

Ours was similar, except we had a freshmen only team with a very short season. Games were on Thursday nights and no practice on Fridays.

We never took JV seriously. Games were on Monday nights, and much shorter. I think 8 minute quarters instead of 12 like the Varsity. And our region had 4 teams, so we each played each other twice for only 6 games. Our season was 10 games for Varsity. We'd start JV around week 2-3, and it would end a few weeks before the Varsity season did. It was mostly for underclassmen to get game experience. Otherwise you just practiced all week and rode the pine on Friday nights.

Football it literally the easiest sport to have good grades in, all games are thursday night or Friday night and only one a week. Try playing baseball, soccer, or basketball where you have two+ games a week or a tournament 5 hours away all weekend. It really sucks having two away games during the week and not getting back until midnight on a tuesday.

There's absolutely no way I'd let my freshmen son play Varsity football unless he was above average in size AND talent. Let him learn the basics and play with kids his size.

Given that, you'll be cock blocking him as a freshmen on varsity will be pulling some serious wool.
