[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My HS in the 1980s had 3500 kids and there were definitely cuts for sports like baseball, basketball and football.

Perhaps the difference nowadays is you just didn't have people so invested in youth travel sports and few participated.

So, the kids cut from the baseball team were literally kids who hadn't ever played before or maybe played little league, but hadn't played since 12.  It was rare for a kid who was actively playing all the time to not make a team.

They didn't make a big deal about it, because they weren't overly invested in the sport.  They either switched to a no cut sport or participated in non-sports activities.[/quote]

Yeah this is accurate. If you showed any interest and had experience you could make the team. I got cut from basketball and had literally only played one season of rec. I was sad but basketball was not my identity it was just something I was trying out.

Kids now play travel from age 7 and have private trainers and still dont make the high school team. [/quote]
