Schools like west bab pull up for almost every sport doesn't mean your kid is a superstar. schools like west islip or garden city are large and have plenty of grade appropriate athletes to play so girls will have to wait even if they are the best athlete in their grade or even more skilled than a 9th or 10th grader.


Look at what just happened at Huntington. They pulled a couple of 7/8 graders up to JV and several 9/10 graders quit so they had to go back to the 7/8 graders that didn't make it the first tryout and offer them spots on jv . It's gonna hurt their program operating like that.
