FCPS HS basketball

[Anonymous]

At my kids’ public high school, a huge number of boys tried out for the freshman team (80ish boys from what I heard). Our school has around 450 kids per grade- so 80ish out of 225ish boys in the freshman class tried out. I believe 12 make the team. Maybe a few more. Totally crazy. The freshman girls team, on the other hand, only had 15-18 freshman girls try out- so a much larger percentage made the team. Neither of my kids play basketball (a lot of their friends do) but I found this interesting.

Same at my kids' school. Where are all the girls?

Kids on high school fall teams aren't allowed to do the basketball green days or fall leagues.

So it wasn't a high school sport.

Where do you see this? It may be a school-by-school rule, but I am not aware this is an FCPS/VHSL rule.

My son's coach told him it was a VHSL rule--hence kids on the football and cross country teams could not play on the basketball fall league teams.

I don't believe this to be a VHSL rule.

We are in Arlington and have the same rule. My DD ran cross country and was not allowed to attend lacrosse green days.

Well, we are at FCPS and have had multiple kids attend green days and fall ball when they were in season for another sport.

Have people heard back for tryouts? Still waiting...

Our school's coaches cut some kids last night (3rd night of tryouts) and said the final roster will come out Friday.
