[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a private boarding school that did it well. They had Varsity, JV and instead of  the horrible PE of public school you picked a sport if you weren’t on a team. You played it for an entire semester. It was so much fun and I tried several sports that I would never have done in a public high school. I truly suck at any sport that involves running around chasing a ball but I got pretty good at field hockey. Being short, I got to avoid the abject humiliation of basketball. I got to avoid gymnastics thank god! Loved running, fencing, horse back riding and swimming!

I really think school should have a third no cut team. It’s not rocket science and the physical fitness/team fun could go a long way for mental health.

Many schools already have a third team--Varsity, JV, and Freshman. But there are still more people who want to play. There is not enough field or gym space to just make as many teams as the interested kids can fill. Also, you need coaches. Don;t make your HS team? Play rec. Or travel. It is not the end of the world. [/quote]
