[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At my nearest public swimming pool there is the slow lane which is for anyone who takes over 2 mins to swim 50m. The time for the medium lane is 1-2 min and fast is under 1 min. That is a very logical breakdown which allows for pretty much any adult amateur to train at the level they are at. Couldn’t schools have a class of team that has standardised benchmarks instead of tryouts! Say for basketball they have to sprint 10 laps of the court while dribbling the ball under a certain time and any kid that meets that standard is allowed. That would create a high bar of performance without the cut throat competition. [/quote] So if 50 kids meet that threshold…what do you do? My kid’s high school has an intramural basketball league that is very popular. They play one game per week at lunch and there are 10 teams. Nobody officially on the basketball team is allowed to play.[/quote]
