[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think MS & HS sports should be open to more kids. I think more kids wouldn’t drop out at age 13 if that was the case. [/quote] These behemoth High Schools in the area don't help. DS' school usually has near 100 try out for boys soccer. Almost every kid here that tries out plays some form of club travel soccer. There's one varsity and one JV team. Back in the midwest where I grew up our big schools with 1,000 less kids would have a varsity, two JV and sometimes a Freshman team! It gave plenty of opportunity to play and there was some limited movement to help varsity from each of the JV squads. [/quote] I went to a HS in NJ the same size as the largest high schools here - and we had Freshman, JV, and Varsity teams for every sport and fewer cuts. I suppose I graduated in 1999 and now it's 2021 but is that asking too much to have those 3 levels for every sport? Every kid doesn't have to be guaranteed playing time.[/quote]
