You should really specify private school when you ask. Hugely different then the competition for making a team at a public school. |

| OP here-I was specifically asking about FCPS so not private. |

The OP asked about FCPS. Clearly private doesn't apply so this reply is irrelevant |

| Will each kid who tried out for HS basketball hear one way or another? How soon does that notice happen? |

Yes, the coaches will tell them either way. |

| How soon are we expected to get results? |

| Didn't tryouts just start yesterday? How fast do you need to know? |

| Last year, on the third/last tryout session, the coach pulled some kids out and cut them. Then they cut some more to get to the final rosters, which came out two days later. |

the coaches know 90% of the team rosters going into the tryouts, so it doesn't really take as long as you would think. If they have to attend 2 out of 3 sessions, they know pretty much the teams after day 2. |

| How many kids showed up for tryouts? My 9th grader had 46 for just freshman team, but a few didn't come back after day 1. |

| 60 just for 9th grade? |

That seems reasonable. How many freshman are there at an FCPS high school? I’m estimating 200-300 boys and same for girls. Basketball is very popular in our area so I could see 60 out of 200 or 300 trying out. Almost every kid we knew played basketball in elementary school. It dropped off significantly in middle school but a lot were still playing in 9th grade. |
