[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's usually school specific and sometimes sport specific, OP.  I have two (boy & girl) at a LoCo HS (not Western).  The boy plays soccer and there were only 8 spots this year with only [b]1 being reserved for an incoming Freshman[/b].  First tryout was Monday evening and he reported that there were 30+ trying out.  My daughter does track & field and anyone who wants to participate gets a spot.  In the fall she does Volleyball and this past year was the first year they had more trying out than they had spots for.  Both did swimming in the winter and again, anyone who wanted on the team could join.

It's why the club and travel sports are able to thrive even after the players reach HS.  I know years ago when I was in a LoCo HS, a lot of the club teams disbanded at the U15 level because players left for HS sport spots.  [/quote]

I really hate it when it comes down to the coach making the decision on who make the team and who get cut.  This is just terrible.  in Swimming and golf or other individual sports, that is determined by the best athlete and the coach has no said in who make or get cut from the team.
