Can you go to one high school but play on another high schools sports team?
Depends on the State you are in and what the district rules are.. In my city, any kid that goes to a school that doesn't have a football team can play football at another school in the area... I would talk to someone who deals with athletic issues such as this at the district level... They would know the rules..... Good luck.....
Can you go to one high school but play on another high schools sports team?
You can be Title IXd into a sport for the following reasons:Your school doesn’t offer the appropriately gendered team for you. You are legally allowed to play if you make the team. (ie, your school has men’s hockey, but you’re a strong female player)You attend a magnet school or homeschool that doesn’t offer your sport. My school didn’t offer cheerleading, so I cheered for another school.If your school doesn’t offer your sport, with consent of two principals, you can usually play for another school. That second school is typically your neighborhood high school. I know people who did that for swimming.
Can you go to one high school, but play on another high schools sports team (because the school you go to does not offer that sport)?
Here in Stamford CT we have three public high schools, one of which is the #1 magnet school in CT, a technical high school, a catholic high school and a private high school. Of these high schools only one doesn’t have any sports teams, last year there were two.Now I am not sure about other school districts but because these high schools were both undistricted and required an application to get into you would be able to play for the team of your districted high school.This seams like the perfect solution but these people are constantly having to miss portions of class because the other high schools only worried about the Kids attending that school.Anyways, I guess the answer to your question is the same answer to so many others, it depends.
In high school or college, did any sports team you played on ever win a championship?
Yes. All four years the Gig Harbor High School swim team I was on won the Narrows League championships, and three years we won Districts. The closest we ever came to winning state though was 2nd place; we got third place two years, fourth place one year.We only lost one dual meet, to Stadium High School but then beat Stadium at both Narrows League and Districts. At Narrows League I heard their coach whining at some of his swimmers saying “we might as well give it to Gig Harbor” after four of their divers did not show up.We had only one diver that year and that was why Stadium won the dual meet.
In high school, did everyone on sports teams already play that sport as an extracurricular?
At least in my experience, no.Last year on my school tennis team I was one of a few people who played tennis outside of the school team. For many, it was their first time playing. This is also because tennis is a no-cut sport.This is probably different for other sports, because tennis isn’t as well known as soccer for example. Especially for schools that have a good reputation with a certain sport, and that cut those who aren’t good, many people will likely play outside of school.
Is it possible for me to join another high school’s sports team?
Have you talked to your athletic administrator or head of athletics? He or she should be able to tell you yes, no or if the school partners with another school. I had to do this for wrestling throughout middle school. The common thing that happens is you just take a bus or get a ride or drive to the school with the team and practice, you're still on the team and you'll get the shirts and all that but this is all dependent on if your school partners with another.And if your school doesn't have a team or doesn't partner with another school see if there's any other people interested in a volleyball team and get them to sign a paper and show this to your head of athletics or athletic administrator. If the school has the funds, a place to practice, a coach and teams around to play and of course enough people to make a team then you should be set.Good luck from one athlete to another
Why can't I play in another high school's tennis team if my school doesn't have one?
Always sad to read stories like this. In this country, tennis is, unfortunately, a minor sport, compared to football, baseball, basketball, hockey, and soccer. Imagine being an American world-class professional player, and not seeing *any* coverage of pro tennis in the local sports section of your hometown newspaper! The USA is somewhat unique about this, as most foreign countries around the world give tennis a lot of respect. If there is a tennis club near you, I would go to the pro there and tell him/her your story. Maybe they would let you work on your game there, with professional-level teaching and coaching. Junior memberships are usually very reasonable. Could you work at the local tennis club, and get some free court time or lessons? If the teaching and coaching is better at the club, you might become a stronger player [than other kids you know] as a result :-) If not now, at some point, you will be playing USTA Junior tournaments. USTA has several different skill levels in their junior events. In the next link, click on "Find Your Section" in the upper right corner of the page. Then, click on your state, and save the page in your browser's memory, so you can come back to it later. Take some time to get to know your specific USTA section's web site, especially the Junior pages: http://www.usta.com/home/default.sps Here are some instructional web sites: http://www.tennisplayer.net/indexpublic.... http://tennisteacher.com/ http://usprotennisshop.com/ http://www.tenniswarrior.com/ https://www.tennisdrills.tv/# Sportsmanship might not be #1, but it's way ahead of whatever is in 2nd place. best of luck, hope you have some fun with it, as you struggle to become the best player you can be :-)
Can you start playing a sport as a Junior in High School?
YES. Even better, if you are willing to put in the work, you can still become successful. I had an old coach who picked up tennis in his Sophomore/Junior year of high school (I forget), and despite being only 5′5″ and playing a “tall man’s sport”, he broke into the top 30 in the Southeast before his Senior year. He later went on to play college tennis on a scholarship and eventually ended up coaching a few pro players. Even more impressively, he didn’t have a coach. He learned how to play by watching a few people and hitting against a wall for a couple hours a day.
