It's not a true statement for our school or those in our area, but there are more opportunities to be involved in some of these activities if there's a deep enough talent pool or strong enough interest, especially if you're in a school/district with better funding. In our school, all of these things require tryouts, kids most definitely get cut, even kids that take their preferred sport as a class (which is the norm) can be rejected after tryouts, and it's not uncommon for coaches to pull more athletically inclined kids from other sports into tryouts to fill roster spots on JV if their overall athleticism, competitiveness, and sports IQ is better than many of the kids slated to try out. You will see some things offering freshman, JV, and Varsity opportunities but this just means it's popular and most of the kids that only made freshman squads will be rejected for JV and Varsity as sophomores. - Location: TX
