Youth ice hockey in Canada is the most competitive, taken-extremely-serious youth sport with the most outrageously insane parents I have ever seen.

And they dominate US pro hockey.

And yes, of course, there are plenty of girls who don’t make the team and some girls’ sports are wildly competitive. I think the comparison with girls having more luck in HS sports wise has to do with the numbers and there are more boys than girls who don’t land on a team. I am a product of title IX and I have a daughter who has benefitted from it, but that doesn’t mean I don’t see that there’s a downside for my son (who is a far better athlete than my daughter but she’s the one playing HS sports and his future there is uncertain).

Football is no cut at our school. There are zero girls team sports that are no cut. Any boy who wants to play a team sport can play football. Even field hockey has cuts at our school, so not every girl who wants to play a team sport can play.

Really? None at atll? Not XC or track? Bc it seems like its so different by school; we have a lot of options for girls. We are in MD, in a school of around 2,200 kids.

In the fall:

Football was no cut.
Field Hockey was no cut.
Girls Flag Football had the MOST cuts (but that may be because this is such a new sport & some kids just know enough about themselves to not even try out for the soccer teams?)
XC was no cut.

In the spring
Baseball made approximately 50 cuts
Lax was cut for both girls and boys
Softball only cut 2-3 girls
Track is no cut

So, at at our school, we have at least 3-4 options for girls that are no cut (they could join the wrestling team as well, which is also no cut, even if you don't get any matches). A girl could tie up her sneaks and make a XC team, or grab a stick and join the FH team

And essentially the same number of no cut teams for boys.

Meanwhile, the competitive sports have to cut a TON of kids. Basically, your kid has to be open-minded to trying new sports if they want to play a HS sport but there is an option for them

Flag football at our school is also wildly popular. It looks really fun and boy football players are helping out, with a really nice coach. All really positive. Uniforms are really cool.

One criticism - they took girls who also play other sports (soccer) who can never play or practice because the other sport (soccer) has to be the first priority. Meanwhile other girls were cut. That’s just not right.

Oh, that's not fair. At all.

Plus, its bad coaching, imo. I'm involved in our local youth girls flag league (up through MS), and while the soccer girls are usually the quickest/most agile, they have no hand eye coordination. The first few weeks is full of black eyes and jammed fingers because these girls can barely clap their hands, forget about catching a ball.

The softball girls have the best hands for sure.

You want the point guards and the CFers to tryout for your flag team. I'll hand the ball off to a soccer player, but it takes a while for them to learn how to catch a ball

I grew up playing rec league sports in Toronto. Anyone who wanted to could sign up for a hockey team in winter and a soccer or baseball team during summer, which were run by Toronto's parks and rec, and have very modest signup calls. This provided a middle ground of giving kids the benefits of physical activity without having to devote your family's life to it. Whether you played a sport or not was irrelevant to college admissions, since college sports aren't much of a thing in Canada.

What about girls cross country, ultimate frisbee (APS), or pickleball (MCPS)? In the winter there’s no cut swim and dive and indoor track. In the spring there’s no cut track, rowing (crew), etc. It seems like the number of no cut varsity sports keeps increasing every year due to parent pressure.

I understand what you're suggesting, but I disagree that XC, Track & Field, and Wrestling are not team sports. They may not pass a ball, or they may be more invidually focused, but you are still a part of a team

FCPS, so no frisbee or pickleball. Cross country, swim, and track are not team sports. Crew is a club not a sport

Crew in APS and ACPS is a partially-funded, varsity team sport, sanctioned by the district. Meaning students get the varsity letter and are officially athletes. Are rowing students in FCPS not eligible for the varsity letter? Do the FCPS schools not provide some at least some bus transportation? I find it strange that it’s a club.

Rifle team in FCPS, APS, etc is likely no cut. That’s growing in popularity because of the Olympics.

Rifle team is not a team sport. There are a bunch of individual sports that are no cut, but no team sports. For some girls, team is the whole point of sports. Does being the 75th kid on a cross country team really get the same benefit and lessons as being on a soccer/basketball/lacrosse team? Boys have football. At some schools field hockey is no cut, at DD's it's cut. She made teams, but there are other girls where were shut out
