Trying to figure out what sport to join next year. Do you guys have any ideas on which sport is the most popular in high schools generally?
The most popular sport in high schools across the United States is typically American football. According to the National Federation of State High School Associations, football consistently has the most participation among high school boys. For girls, the most popular sport is usually track and field, although volleyball and soccer are also quite popular.
However, just because a sport is popular doesn't necessarily mean that it's the best fit for you. It's important to take into account your interests, physical abilities, and the time commitment associated with each sport. Try out a few different sports if you can, or speak to coaches or athletes to get a feel for what you might enjoy and excel at. Remember, the best sport for you will be the one you enjoy most, not necessarily the most popular one!
