[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It isn't just height as a 9th grader, it is your potential for height. If you and your spouse are really tall then hang around those tryouts. If you are short then stay away.

You need to look to make a list- see how many seniors graduated last year, how many were juniors last year and how many were sophomore and freshman. Sometimes it is really just luck of the draw. You can have one kid tryout as a freshman and the year before they had a ton of seniors graduate. So then everyone moves up and there are more openings. If you have a tiny graduating class then there is a bottleneck and not many spaces open up. [/quote]

It’s height and talent and they don’t care to look at everyone’s parents.   My daughter’s boyfriend was on the freshman basketball team in a relatively large school.  He was about 5’10” in 9th grade and a good player but not a standout.  He was still growing I guess but he did not make varsity.   Too many players that have everything that makes it so competitive.

If there is way more interest in playing basketball than there are spots hopefully someone will step up and create a program.  Rec programs usually don’t cover high school.  There needs to be another way where the players are accomplished and want to continue to play.  [/quote]
