Can you think of when you could still be on a basketball team if you simply didn't go to practice for two days?
I thought about this, I've volunteered some time and helped coach in different sports for various ages, and Im wondering when you are no longer on the team when you stop coming to practice for a couple of days.
I know in High School if you missed a basketball practice for no reason, you were done. If you were sick or had a school issue come up you normally had to make up the work, but simply not showing up?
It reminds me of a time I was coaching and a kid hadn't showed up for two practices and showed up day before the game, and I asked him where he had been. He said with a straight face, "Coach the fair is in town". His dad was also out of town on business, and when I told the dad what happened, he lost it. Im thinking that around the ages of 12-14 that if you stop coming to practice you automatically are off the team. I can't think of a 9th grade sport that would allow you to stay on the team if you stopped showing up for practice.
