Benefits to Implementing AVL's

I feel that Academic Varsity Letters should be implemented for a few reasons. Many academic teams teach students the value of responsibility and trust. These letters also allow for students to participate at the level they wish. If a student on the team wants to obtain a letter, they will strive to do more and become more actively involved in the team.
According to one parent, at a school of 1200, approximately 1 percent, or 12 students of the student population, upon graduation, will receive a varsity letter

As another parent states, "My Prospective: There are many not as physically blessed, perhaps even physically challenged, but contribute to the overall team success as much if not more than any individual player. I believe that HS sports programs (as opposed to summer competitive teams) have many purposes not the least of which is developing team work, self dedication and discipline, balancing one's time and effort, etc."
