Ok, we are a 1A (up to 600)team in Fla 300 kids,we have been really good the last 2 years (24-2) losing to the state champion both years. Our district is pretty weak so we get little to no competition from those games. We play 3 other local teams 2 perennial playoff teams and one larger rival school (550) kids. That's 7 games(4 district ) with 3 remaining, our top 16-18 kids are really good but we have little depth. Do you step up in class playing larger teams risking injury and wear and tear or play like teams and have no competition? Our coaches have gone both ways, looking for input.

speaking personally, I would schedule 1 game against a pretty good team, 1 against a cup cake, and if possible, 1 against a team that you felt was similar to yourself normally.
now, with the depth you mentioned maybe you schedule two weaker teams and then go up for 1 just to see where you are at, if that is possible

I dont think you go out and look for 3 higher level quality teams. I would try to find games with schools similar to yours. Teams that are from successful, smaller schools. I think this would present the challenge you are looking for.

I would schedule 1 higher level team. Doesnt mean schedule a game against a team you have no chance against. But playing a tough opponent every once in a while will help you in the long run.
