Determining a depth chart for varsity, junior varsity (JV), and C teams involves several key steps:

- Assessment of Skills: Evaluate the players' skills, strengths, weaknesses, and potential. This can be done through practices, scrimmages, and games.

- Position Needs: Identify the specific needs for each position on all teams. This includes understanding the playing style and strategies of the team.

- Player Performance: Consider players' performance in games and practices. Consistency and ability to perform under pressure are crucial.

- Player Development: Factor in the potential for growth and development. Younger players on JV or C teams may be given opportunities to develop and eventually move up.

- Team Chemistry: Take into account how players work together. Sometimes, a player may fit better in a team dynamic than another, regardless of individual skill.

- Injury and Availability: Monitor injuries and player availability, as these can affect who is placed on the depth chart.

- Feedback: Engage with assistant coaches for their insights on players’ performances and capabilities.

- Regular Updates: Depth charts will be updated regularly based on ongoing evaluations, player performance, and team needs.

By considering these factors, coaches can create a depth chart that best represents the strengths of each team while fostering player development.

 "Earned Not Given" means that players must demonstrate their skills, commitment, and ability to contribute to the team in order to earn their positions, playing time, or accolades. In broader contexts, it can apply to achieving goals, gaining respect, or obtaining rewards, reinforcing the idea that true accomplishments come from perseverance and hard work. This mindset encourages individuals to strive for excellence and fosters a culture of accountability and effort.
