[quote=Anonymous]Most students were not on HS sports teams 20, 30, even 50 years ago. Just because movies and TV shows portrayed it that way does not make it accurate. Popular HS sports at larger schools have required some previous experience for decades. I didn’t make my schools volleyball team in 1990, even though I played in middle school. (TBH, I was not good at volleyball) Most teams have a cap on the number of players - only so many can be on the court or on the field, and coaches only want so many sitting on the bench. Students in small schools are more likely to be able to participate in HS sports. And yes, there’s always track & field or cross country. [/quote]
