It is unlikely that family vacations would be an issue for the high school baseball season at small high schools.
That’s the detail you want to reply to? It’s not a major factor, but sometimes a family takes a few extra days for spring break on the front or backend. I was simply laying out some examples. I’ve seen with my own Baseball playing Kid.

Burke has no cut for sports teams and a baseball team. There are more sporty kids there than is recognized on this board.

At most small schools, just playing for the high school team, it really isn't that big of a commitment. The seasons are short and they don't all do off season stuff.
OP, Check into the PVAC league teams.

That said, something to keep in mind is that in high school baseball, making the roster and playing are two different things. A team will almost always the best 9 players + pitchers the entire season. It's not travel ball or club baseball where everyone plays. This takes some getting used to.... if you're the second best short stop you won't play until the current one graduates and you have to hope that someone better doesn't arrive at the school before he does.
GDS has hs varsity and jv. I believe that jv is usually no cut. But varsity is tougher to make..

I dont think St Andrews cuts - as others said, too many sports for a small class, they always need bodies. the coaches try to get all the kids in at some point, but PPs are right that the better players get most of the PT.
