    Well I think 1st string is a starter. And that would make 2nd string second. Starters are the players that will start the game. The 2 string would be their "subs" so to speak if someof the players can't play the whole game. I hope this helps! :-)

    Great Answer!

    Cookie:
    I agree with what April has said about the situation.

    Tell your daughter congratulations for making 1st string on the varsity team! This is a tremendous honor for a sophomore (10th grader).

    1st String is usually the starters and the better players on the team the second string is sometimes just a fine line away from the first string they are both really important no matter what they are called

Why do some coaches believe its bad for a freshman to start? I start as a freshman and the teams we play, look down on me.
