[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With sports such as baseball, golf and crew, it is the nature of the sport more than the competitiveness of the program that may or may not create cuts. For example, with crew - there is one freshman boat which requires 8 rowers, a cox and maybe a few alternates in case of injury so if more than 12 boys want to row, yes there will be cuts because it is not fun or productive for a boy to just stand around while others are racing. It is better for that kid to find a different sport where he can participate more. Similarly with baseball, there are only so many boys that can warm a bench so if too many want to play there may be cuts. Alternatively, lacrosse could sub in players during a game and has a JV and Varsity team so absorbs a lot of bodies so no cuts necessary. Similarly for track and field. Any number of kids can run.[/quote] So, I'm curious how a young boy would prepare to be competitive on the freshman rowing team? [/quote]
