[quote=Anonymous]No cut sports exist at every high school that offers sports.  The thing to keep in mind is that “no cut” does not mean “everyone plays”.   The effects of not playing very much differ from kid to kid.   If not playing makes participation not much fun then absolutely find another activity.  I tell the tale all the time that my oldest entered 9th grade as a baseball/football kid and by Senior year he was a singer.  (Graduating with his masters in Choral Conducting this coming weekend.)   The difference in high school is that there are many more activities to participate in.

So - back to the question - in high school no cut sports typically are:  (Fall) football, cross country, swimming (May also be a winter sport depending on the State and sex).  (Winter) Swimming, wrestling, (Spring) Track.

Individual schools may have some physical requirements to participate in particular sports in addition to the medical physical, ie need to be sble to run a mile in under 10 minutes kind of thing.  Mostly this is just to make sure kids are willing to put in a little effort.

Individual schools may also have limits on numbers for what would otherwise be no cut sports, because they lack supervisor coaches.  You can’t have 120 cross country runners and 2 coaches.

Individual schools may also be looking for kids to participate in particular sports so have not cut anyone in ages and recruit hard to get interested kids.
