We've got a rule in Georgia that states high school players can only play 6 quarters per week. The week begins on Friday, the night of most varisty games and ends the following Thursday, the night of most JV games. We are very strict in the way our program follows this rule. If a player played 1 play of a quarter, according to the GHSA, that counts as a quarter played.
Being the varsity OL coach and the JV HC/OC we always play the 2 quarter players first, and then they take their pads off at halftime.
I'm just curious how some other states and staffs handle Varsity?JV playing times.

Not sure what the rule is here, but we just played a team last night in JV that we beat last Friday. The funny thing was that they played 5 of the kids that started Friday against us last night. They changed the numbers of the kids, but our varsity kids on the side would say hey that is so and so. Two of the kids went to school here last year so it was no doubt that it was the same person. We really do not care what other people do, we just want to get work with our kids.

JV games were on Friday or Thursday (opposite day of varsity). 1 play in a quarter = 1 quarter. if a player got in on a kickoff in the first quarter and played three downs in the fourth quarter, the player could play two quarters in the JV game. |

In NC we have 8 quarter rule. Kids can play JV on Thur. then dress on Fridays and play 8 qtrs for the entire season. After they use up all 8 qtrs, they must either stay up or down. There is a lot of paperwork that goes along with this rule and it is a real headache for our head coach

I don't know if we have a rule in IL, but we did have a team last year play their RB- 3 quarters of the Varsity game and the whole game in JV and Freshmen. He is one heck of an athlete and probably should have played Varsity and JV only, but they like reading about their great team in the paper, regardless of the level.

To be honest, I'm not sure how VA breaks it down. I grew up in Georgia and we had 5 quarters a week, so you could play a full quarter at your position on thursday, and then play 4 quarters of special teams/position back-up on friday. BUT, in VA we have 10 games. Which gets treated as 40 quarters by most schools (including us), but I know of one team in the district that'll count 480 minutes if need be. Never heard anyone complain about that.

The rule in VA is 40 quarters a year and you can't play two games in the same day.

In Michigan kids can play one game a week. We usually have Thursday night JV games and Friday night varsity games. So if you play at all on Thursday, you don't play on Friday. It seems like the way it should be everywhere.

Why should a kid only be allowed to play one game a week? This week I started a free safety who has been on JV all year. If that were the rule, this would have been his first time stepping on a varsity field. Instead, he's at least gotten garbage time on varsity (we only play 9 games on JV, so they have 4 quarters off the bat). Kids should have the opportunity to play on JV, but also experience Friday night to prepare for the future, whenever it comes.
Phantom, thanks for the clarification.

I think the physical nature of the game lends itself to being played once a week. Otherwise, you would see college football and the NFL playing two games a week and banking twice as much money. I think some states are ahead of others as far as putting the kids safety first, this is clearly a safety rule. I'm sure a lot of banged up JV kids end up in varsity games because of the pressure to win. We usually have enough guys who need the mop up time who are juniors and seniors, and we are a small school.
