Reply to comment by Primary_Insect_553 in What’s killing high school athletics? I think it’s AAU. by Parrothead1970

  1. Nothing you said counters what I said
  2. In your scenario a school of 300 or 3,000 will have one team. How does that benefit anyone not on the team?

  1. I’m saying high school should be on the more competitive side and not simply for “fun”

  2. There are JV teams and in some cases freshman teams that increase the number of kids able to play a particular sport at each school. We don’t have any schools in Maine with 3,000 kids, so kids with any passion at all about a sport have a chance to play. If you don’t make a freshman or JV team, that’s a pretty good indicator of how little effort you put into the sport - are you entitled to benefit from something you didn’t put effort into?
