[quote=Anonymous]My children are pretty young still but I was just thinking about HS sports and how they work. Let’s say a kid does a travel sport which has a heavy commitment in fall/spring. Can they do a winter sport for their HS, or is the time commitment too much even when there is a lighter schedule for the travel sport? What about their primary sport — do most kids compete for the travel team and the HS team or do they usually have to pick one or the other?

Related to that, let’s say a kid burns out on their travel sport and doesn’t want to do it year round anymore but wants to play for just the HS team, maybe while doing other HS sports in different seasons. Can the kid who dropped out of travel make the HS team or do only travel players have a real shot? Do kids who focused on another sport leading up to HS but then want to try something new have a shot at making a team? I’m mostly thinking of sports like track, cross country, crew, or swimming as opposed to something like basketball which I assume is much harder to make.

We let our kids make their choices about their activities, but just wondering what the landscape looks like at the HS level. Do decently athletic kids have options or is it a situation where kids who aren't doing club/travel level in that sport get shut out? [/quote]
