[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Most of the the time a kid makes a team it's because they are paying the coach via travel. It doesn't have diddily to do with skill.[/b] The coaches know if they put little Bobby on the team they are guaranteed another 5 years of travel dues. It's protection of revenue. Baseball is rife with this. I know two kids who walked on to D1 teams (and actually played 4 years) that were denied a spot at South Lakes because they 'couldn't make the cut.' All that meant is that they weren't paying the right travel coaches. Guess how many players South Lakes sent to D1 schools in that 4 years?[/quote] How can a coach do that in sports like golf, tennis, or swimming, where there is an official result?[/quote] Kids don't get to be stars in those sports by being on a school team. They train with outside coaches for swimming, golf and tennis.[/quote]
