This is how it was in Des Moines when I was there. The future varsity players, for the most part, were on the sophomore teams. The sophomore games had better turnout, but then again, they were before the V games.
Around here, there are no sophomore teams. Varsity, JV, and Freshman.

I'm going to guess, I think it's split 50/50 on JV vs Soph. A friend is in Suburban Atlanta and no Sophs but JV. Might be a numbers thing. I live in a very populated area.

It's definitely a numbers thing. The school I grew up going to had 3 teams in 7th and 8th, two Freshman Teams, and then a soph, JV, Var. Now they have Three freshman teams

But I now I officiate some schools that have a JV and Var team only.

I agree, it is a numbers thing. The Houston metro is very populated. Where I grew up in California, it was not as populated and we only had three teams for each gender, Frosh, JV and Varsity.

There is no shortage of games to work here, that is for sure.
