[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few things.

Our MCPS middle school definitely had teams, not clubs or intramural, for soccer. DS played on the team. It was limited to 7th and 8th.  Lots of kids were cut and the roster was 3/4 8th graders.  He had a great time but it would have been nice for them to have a way to accommodate more kids.

DS made JV soccer freshman year and varsity sophomore. Lots of great kids were turned away and our school has nowhere near the numbers of others. As mentioned above,[b] it’s hard (nearly impossible) for kids who don’t play travel to earn a spot[/b]. Why not create freshman teams to allow another 20 to play? I don’t see how this costs the school much. His soccer team’s only cost appears to be the coach and we know they pay them poorly. They don’t provide any bus transportation. From what I can tell, football seems to get the money. [/quote]

At our school all the kids in teams are on other outside school teams. They play for rec football travel, soccer travel baseball. It’s incredibly hard for a “regular” kid to make the team.

It used to be that middle, and high school is where you could try out sports to see if you were any good. Not anymore! You have to already be good, and experienced to make the team which discourages many to even try.[/quote]
