[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do all kids who play travel or club basketball end up making their middle or high school teams? I know many have been training for years to prepare, but does it ever happen that a player still doesn’t make the school team despite all the effort they’ve put in? Interested in basketball specifically. Thanks.[/quote] Unfortunately there is so much competition that many kids do fail to make the school team despite years of elementary club sports. Some of this is just genetic. It's not about past effort but about current strength and size.[/quote] +1 It really depends on the school, but at large competitive HS programs, it can be challenging. There are only so many spots. Also (IMO) things often change quite a bit during/after puberty- size, speed, athleticism etc. A good reason to encourage multiple activities for as long as possible.
