It will probably only make a difference if you want to play water polo in college.  Being on the varsity team at anytime during high school is good to put on your college app., the fact that your a freshman indicates you're very good, but again it will probably only impress the coaches.  If you are really concerned about spicing up your college app., don't underestimate good grades, and VOLUNTEER somewhere, doing some kind of public service work during your time in high school.

Depending on where you live most high school wreslting teams are pretty easy to get on. Wrestling is determined by a point system. For instance if you have an escape or a reversal etc you get points. Every year ESPN show the collegiate national championships. They are coming up March 11th and 13th. In my high school we had wreslting as a gym class. It was awesome and most of the people on the wrestling team got on right there. Just go to the front office and ask who the wrestling coach is, then go speak with them. It doesn't matter that you don't have any experience. Wrestling is an awesome sport and one of the oldest. Lot of history and it is so much more fun than football.

heck no. its a great sport but start with some lessons so you don't learn the wrong way. It a sport that can be played all your life so go out there and have a blast!

You should practice both positions and see where you are most comfortable, then tryout for that position. Bottom line is the coach will probable make the decision for you.

I used too.  I played for my high school all 4 yrs I was there.  I was setter for JV one year, and setter for Varsity for the remaining three.  I absolutely loved being on my volleyball team!  Vball is extremely competitive and tough. I love being a part of a team.  I'm currently on my college's cross country team b/c the vball program was cut (I had a scholarship to play), and I miss it SOO much!

One of my friends is the captain of the varsity bowling team (he recently got high 200s - one spare and all the rest strikes) and my brother is on the team as well. They bowl at the local bowling lanes. Our team is not very good except for the captain. There are girls JV and varsity teams as well. It was very hyped up when my friend got high 200s - announcements urging people to come and support the team. It is very social when you watch games. Not as many people come to watch the bowling team as, for example, our football, basketball, and lacrosse games.

yes, yes you can.  many colleges offer sports medecine or physical training as programs.  SFSU has a good program, among others all over the world.

It depends on how competitive your school is. It wasn't hard for me to get onto the team, but I have a very strong background. If you can't overhand serve,  you probably won't get on the team- - no offence. But, once again, this depends on your league, your competition, ect. You could probably get on a JV or Freshman team, but most varcity teams require you serve overhand- - at least they do where I live.

Work out, alot!  Those boys are big and strong, and fast too!  My advice is to pick a school that has a good reputation, especially in the field you want to study, then look at football.  \nIf you can meet the admisions requirements, I would recomend Rice University in Houston as one to consider.   A top level academic reputation on par with Satnford and Harvard, plus a rejuvenated football program with a new head coach bringing energy and positive attitudes into the system.  They have a shot at a bowl game this year, and are building state of the art facilities.

Seriously, the same question was posed to me this year, but the coach changed up (He couldn't put me on because I am a freshman, and there were too many seniors, so it would be kinda like disrespect...), but I really considered varsity. Go with varsity, cuz basically, you'll be able to practice w/varsity, and you'll get better. With sophomores, you'll prolly bring your game down to their level, and it might not turn out so good...and w/varsity, the coach is sorta telling you that maybe next year or the year after, the team could be yours...Good Luck & God Bless!

Ultimately you, your coach, and your parents/guardians should make this decision.\n\nThat said, one mistake I've seen often made by talented young athletes is "playing up".  Whether it was a 10 year old playing on an under-12 soccer team or a high school ball player jumping to the NBA, the results on the whole aren't good for the athlete.  The young player's playing time is cut dramatically, they're also behind in terms of overall skill, so they're playing catch up to a degree, plus the aspects of socializing with people more mature than yourself is another gap to bridge.\n\nAlso, team environment/chemistry can play an immense role in how you perform.  My two worse experiences with basketball came with two teams where one had zero tolerance for mistakes, and the other placed a premium on winning at all costs while having no camaraderie.  It was no surprise, now reflecting back that for the first time in my life, I disliked playing ball, and struggled with my overall play.\n\nMy advice is to stick with your team, grow with them.  Varsity will be there later, and you'll probably be better prepared for it when it's time.  Good luck.

Sure.  They will allow you to try out.\n\nI had a friend that did that when she was in college - she ended up starting, and receiving second team honors in the conference.  Not too bad. . .\n\nSpeak to the coach and find out how they would like to work it, and if they will hold a try out for you, or allow you to work out with the team to see if you can make it or not.  \n\nGood luck!!

Deffinatly play!  Number one it shows great detication, which will help for next year.  Also it will help you improve, you can't get any better if you just give up because your friends arn't on the team.  In my middle school for modified basketball we have an A and  B team and I was put onto the B team, and I hated it!  But I stuck thought it and played, and now I'm a starting point guard on my Highschool Varsity team.  So deffinatly stick with it no matter what, if you love the sport just practice a lot.

if you love this sport as much as you say i would stick with it. All the sports teams out there have to have practices like this. They work hard durring the summer to be ready for the season. My brothers play High School football and i see what they go through. some quite but they are the ones that shouldn't have went out after middle school..... just look at the big picture and follow your heart.

I think you should definately go out for track and think about XC (for next year).  Sure, you won't be the fastest on the team, but as a freshman you're not even expected to be.  Freshman year is a good time to get used to the sport and helps you get become a better runner in later years.
