<p>I am interested in playing on an intercollegiate sports team in Dartmouth, but I am not good enough to be recruited onto a division I team. I was just wondering if Dartmouth would allow walk-ons onto their team as long a they are able to keep up. I know Yale University allows this, but I am not sure if Dartmouth does.</p>
<p>From my experience, most colleges have try outs. I.e. they're held in the fall for softball. You can make the team on your own merit.
If you really want to play that sport in college, then you may have to change your college choice.
Also, the level of play varies widely in D1 schools, some are much more competitive than others.
I.e.; You may make the team at a small D1 school in the northeast, but never make the team at a major southern university.</p>
<p>I'd contact the coach of the college of choice and get feedback.
The more information you have the better.
Good luck!</p>
