[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So - spend 30 minutes looking at the school’s website for sports and get into the specific sport to check out the team.  Big team?  No cuts.

Typically, the following sports are no cut:  (Fall) Football, and X-Country, Girls Swimming/diving (if a Fall sport); (Winter) Swimming/Diving (boys and girls), Wrestling (Spring) Track/field.

A couple of things to keep in mind:

(1) “no cut” does not in any way mean your kid will earn a letter, or even play/compete.

(2) it can be very school specific particularly for girls.  Certain teams may just have a tough time getting kids so they will keep almost anyone who tries out.  Softball and Girls Lacrosse and even Soccer Cher may be packed at some schools and go begging at others.

(3) 9th grade teams in many sports at many schools may not have a cut.  They may only play a couple of other schools but it often is done so kids can try a sport.  Also, in many sports, particularly for guys, coaches (and schools) want to keep kids involved who have not yet hit growth spurts.  For the girls - 9th graders are often the same size as seniors.  For the guys that is pretty rare.

Eastern Fairfax here and swim has cuts. They don’t have the lanes to accommodate everyone who wants to be on the team. Cross country is no cut, football has only a few cuts and cheer has no cuts[/quote]
