I was once on a team that had 28 kids on the first day of pratice and only took 8 kids to regionals. We had one of the best coaches in the state and when he left we got a new coach in straight out of college, and he ran alot of pratices like college pratices.needless to say as bad as that year sucked it felt pretty cool to be one of eight kids in the school who stuck it out for the whole season, regardless of how much it sucked during the season. So i have to agree with everyone when they say there really is no good excuse for quitting unless under extreme cirucumstances. At the high school level at least.
