In Texas 6A high schools, Basketball coach wants you playing in AAU in spring/summer, Football coach wants you playing 7 on 7 in Spring, Baseball coach wants you in Fall ball and all want you at weightlifting as well as other workouts. None are accepting of you missing, unless, well, your Bo Jackson.
The baseball/football combo can work if the coaches agree and the player is good enough.

Same in California. At the largest high schools, Fall/Spring sports can possibly work, but it is extremely difficult to make Fall/Winter or Winter/Spring work. There are always exceptions (e.g., Giancarlo Stanton was all-CIF (similar to all-state) in football, basketball, and baseball) but the vast majority of kids are single-sport by sophomore year. This differs in the lower classifications, but for Div. 1 (similar to Texas 6A) it's the general rule.
