I always found it dumb that public HS sports were only limited to the few players that were already good as opposed to being open to all for fitness and skill development. My HS didn't really have intramural leagues.
I understand that there shouldn't be an expectation of playing time or travel to games, etc due to logistics and feasibility reasons.
But essentially my interest and experience with multiple sports died with those tryouts because I wasn't a natural athlete who excelled immediately and there wasn't another path forward otherwise.
Similar deal here. I tried out for hockey in high school, was very clearly outclassed and could never make the team, yet my mother would bitch at me for not being active and not being in a sport in school. There would have been no way for me to reasonably reach a level where I could have made the team without climbing to higher regional hockey leagues, and by the time I would have climbed high enough to have a chance I would have been out of high school anyways.
At the end of the day, sports is recreational to me. I didn't want to invest the ungodly amount of time to be good enough to make a school team, I just wanted some fun exercise on the side.
If you aren't born already a success, then no one wants you to succeed. In fact, they are pissed you are even trying.
Its why women want all incels dead, instead of rehabilitated. Because if your genes didn't "just make it" then they don't even want your participation.
I kept getting cut from multiple HS sports teams.

That's a good if harsh lesson for boys though.

And why didn't you form your own system rather than depending on the government to supply you with a good time?
