[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are some private middle and high schools that do not overemphasize or recruit for sports that would allow a newbie to walk on to just about any team, including baseball.[/quote] This is true. They may not ever get to play in a game, but they can practice and be on the team. Some schools will have A and B teams. Some really small schools have just one team. My kid's school allows this, but the kid has to really be resilient because while it is "allowed" it really annoys some coaches that they "have to deal with" 13-yr-old newbies. My kid has struggled with this. He's tall and athletic but not experienced in basketball and the coach has been an absolute d!ck to him and a couple of other new kids; I've witnessed it firsthand and am amazed that my kid hasn't wanted to drop out.[/quote]
