Each of my 3 sons had graduating classes around 200 (private, catholic, college prep) - more than half of each was female... Of the male percentage, there was a percentage that were shall we say "athletically challenged" ...  Graduation speeches were quite thought provoking, calling of the names was quick, which was good since it was all done indoors in a non air-conditioned field house.

Wow, that is shocking! Is there a lack of opportunity for younger players to learn the game at the Little league level? Our area is not the kind of baseball mecca that FLA, CA, TX and others are but having only 20 players trying out is just mind boggling...

Out of our 1,300 Freshmen, about 60-70 try out. 30ish make it as we have two freshman teams since our freshmen class attends 2 different schools.

 

Under 10% of those that attend that first Freshman tryout will play significant Varsity time by the time it is over.
