[quote=Anonymous]In case it wasn't clear: the no 6th graders thing is (or at least was a few years ago) a county-wide rule, completely independent of how popular/competitive the particular team is. And to underscore the previous point: whether there are try-outs/cuts will be very sport and school dependent and is almost always just a numbers game (how many kids want on the team). For some sports -- eg soccer or basketball -- it's just not realistic to say that 80 or 100 kids should all be allowed on the team, not just because of limited numbers of coaches, but also because of limited field space and the desire for these schools and teams to want to win games, which means practicing with kids who reasonably might expect playing time in a game (and typically, to enable teams to scrimmage in practice that's going to be at least double the number of kids on the field/court in a game at any given time)[/quote]
