<p>So this is probably a stupid question, but to try out for a sports team in high school, do you have to be able to play the sport really well or is it sufficient enough to just have an interest in playing?</p>
<p>If you are really interested it won`t hurt you to try.;] Depending on the level of your team-mates the coach will decide to approve or reject you.What particular sport are you interested in ?</p>
<p>I think interest would also help you get on a team or be good at a sport you previously were not good at. The coach will appreciate the interest and will see the potential in you and hence you have a chance.</p>
<p>I always wanted to be on a sports team and I also want to do it to get fit.</p>
<p>I am considering:
-Track and Field (in gym class, I have always sucked at running..?)
-Lacrosse (I sucked at this in gym too and I only played it once anyway in like, 4th grade)</p>
<p>They are spring sports.</p>
<p>It depends entirely on the school. People at your school should know more.</p>
<p>I think that only applies to if you're trying out for varsity.
My parents wouldn't let me play lacrosse--the claim that it's bad for my muscles :[ At least I'm on track...just thinking about it makes me feel somehow claustrophobic and faint.</p>
<p>If you want to run track, all you need is an extremely disciplined mind.</p>
<p>If you've ever given up in your life, track is not the sport for you. (Obviously, that's an exageration, but you get my point.)</p>
<p>No, stick to your academics unless you really like something. And at a Varsity level you dont play sports for interest. You have to have heart for it.</p>
<p>if you were at my school, I'd recommend track, because the teams are big (no cuts that I know of), and you'll get exercise and practice at the same time</p>
<p>I'm only thinking about JV, definitely not Varsity.</p>
<p>My school is so stupid, they require tryouts for Track. There are still a lot of people on the team though. I would never get in because I was always one of the slowest runners in my gym class.</p>
<p>So let me get this straight, you don't need any experience to join a JV team?<br>
What do you do at tryouts if you have no experience? For example, lacrosse.</p>
<p>^Required?</p>
<p>Cross country, water polo, wrestling. The three most demanding yet least respected sports in high school.</p>
<p>play lax. its fun and most schools dont have good teams (unless ur in the DEL-MAR-VA area or NE). yeah i played prolly gonna play club in college who noes.</p>
<p>some people in my soccer team are newbies</p>
<p>they have HS Water Polo teams? nice</p>
<p>fck XC tho, lamest sport ever. Wrestling is aight, I'll agree that it's underappreciated, but people do know its demanding.</p>
<p>& Marching Band is more demanding than those 3, do the aforementioned activities with a 30lb bass drum hanging off you. ??? That's what I thought!</p>
<p>Hmm well you'd probably drown in the pool with a bass drum on you, they wouldn't let you on the wrestling mat, and your mile time would increase from 20 minutes to 30 minutes. Wonderful analogy... </p>
<p>Seriously though, don't knock sports you don't even play. Just because you'd get your @$$ handed to you on a silver platter in a sport doesn't mean the sport is lame.</p>

<p>ROFLMAO. Marching Band more demanding than wrestling? Obviously you've never seen someone not eat anything more than a salad a day for three days, run three miles in sweatsuits, and spit in a cup all day to cut 10 lbs, all while still going to 2 hr practices. I don't know how anyone could consider marching band more demanding than wrestling.</p>
<p>P.S. I don't wrestle, and I know wrestlers and people in marching band, so no bias here.</p>
