[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At a good sports school, boys' basketball will usually, statistically, the toughest sport to get on the varsity roster for based on the number of kids who want to play vs. the number of roster spots--usually 12 to 15, depending on where you are (we're not even talking about being one of the starting 5 here).

That's also true in college. Statistically, the number of kids who play in high school vs the number of D1 spots (NCAA rules make it so each college can only have 15 players total) makes it the hardest sport to play in D1.[/quote]

Men’s tennis is the hardest [/quote]

For high school? LOL. No. Boys soccer and boys basketball, everywhere.[/quote]

Yes tennis and golf are super difficult because of the small number of players and no subs.

Basketball is tough because 5 on the floor and basically 5-7 subs

Soccer is hard because 150 kids try out because they played soccer once in 2nd grade. The travel kids get in at 9th grade and spots open as seniors graduate. [/quote]

In high school, its incredibly easy to make the golf and tennis team compared to boys soccer and boys basketball. Hardly any kids even try out for golf or tennis, relative to soccer and basketball--even at the 3000 student schools. [/quote]

Depends completely on the high school. At our very expensive private West Coast high school, boys tennis is the hardest sport to get onto varsity and they have three levels—varsity, JV and frosh/soph all of which are cut sports. whereas Basketball is a walk on sport and there is so little interest in football
that you can walk onto the
Varsity team and they have to play 8 man football because they can’t get enough players. soccer is also a walk on sport. [/quote]

Fascinating. Name the school where basketball is a walk on sport. [/quote]
