University is a higher education institution. Varsity has actually two meanings. 1.varsity is a sports team of the university or a team of a college of the university. 2. Colloquial contraction of University. [Brit.]
Yes, "Varsity Swim Team" should be capitalized as it is a proper noun referring to a specific team.
Yes
You must be in the top 7 runners on your team to be on Varsity.
Certainly, they can. The qualification "varsity" occurs when a team is regularly engaged in competition with other teams from other schools in recognized leagues or associations of whatever sort, as in varsity soccer, football, baseball, etc. Oftentimes, the younger or weaker players from popular varsity teams are themselves organized (or are selected for) a "junior varsity" team. These weaker or younger teams then play the weaker or younger players from other schools and the upshot is "junior varsity" competition. However, nothing requires the school that sponsors a varsity team to have a junior varsity team; it is just traditional, especially amongst larger and more established high school programs. When there is no varsity team, you sometimes have "club" teams where members compete with other school clubs (but almost never with other varsity teams of the same sport) in more informal matches. Such club teams are even sometimes recognized as having won "championships," but these are less trusted honors, because of the small number of schools that participate, and the often unofficial rules that govern them.
In the United States, this word refers to the official team that represents a high school or college in a particular sport. Thus, one could play football with one's college friends for fun, but the one team that competes in the name of that school is called the varsity. (Players on the varsity wear the official school uniform, with the school's colors, and logo on it.) Here's a sentence: Kevin has worked hard to impress the basketball coach, and he is hoping to be named to the varsity this fall.
About 26 players can be on a michigan varsity team in one season.
Advantages and Disadvantages of being a Varsity
A player can play on either however they can only play the same total number of games the varsity plays. Example if the varsity team has a 20 game schedule the player can play no more than 20 games in total. So every JV game they play in will reduce the number of varsity games they can play in by 1.
Yes, but it depends on the school sometimes, the 2nd and 3rd strings on varsity are actually JV starters. JV players can also play in the varsity games.
There is no definite answer, it depends what kind of thing you are playing for and how good you are.
