[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately it’s mostly sports. Our varsity baseball coach told a few juniors last year that, were they an inch or two taller, they would’ve made the team. So it had nothing to do with their ability or work ethic- just height [/quote]

I’ve seen this too. A dear friend’s son was told he didn’t make the baseball(!) team because he was too short[/quote]

If that friend is in FCPS, we might know the same person as I also have a friend whose son was told the exact same thing (unless there are multiple baseball coaches saying the same to lots of kids across the country…could very well be). [/quote]

My son is an underclassmen on JV (not FCPS) in a large public HS and this would not surprise me at all. Looking at the varsity team, over half the players are a genuine 6ft+.The rest are at least 5’10”. Not even one shorter kid, which would seem statistically unusual. That said, I’m not sure if shorter players are actually cut for that reason. Could be other reasons I suppose. [/quote]
