HELP! What does a coach mean when he says he will make a cut?

Question

Out of 5 days i went to volleyball try-outs for only 3 days and for the 4th and 5th my coach would not let me try out because i still didn't have a physical. so school starts Monday 27 and i was wondering do you think i still have a chance of making the team?My volleyball coach said the first cut will be on the 31st. what does he mean by cut? Oh and he can only keep 10-12 girls and there where like 25 trying out.

Answer 1

He is going to "cut" some of the people from the team.

It means bye bye if they get cut.

.

Answer 2

Cut means you won't make the team.  it's that simple :D

Answer 3

Removing people off the team. So that the best can stay.

Answer 4

Being "cut" means you're done--you didn't make the team. If he can obnly keep 12 girls, he has to cut the other 13.

Answer 5

go get your physical and turn it in fast, but im not sure if you still have a chance. when he means a cut he is cutting ppl from tryouts which means they won't be on the team

Answer 6

well if he was making a cut he was saying that he would have to "cut" people. or in other words he'll tell you who made the team. so if the team has 10-12 players and 25 people tried out then about 13 won't make the team. or the final cut.

Answer 7

when a coach says he's going to make a cut he means that however many girls he says will not make the team.  i would suggest getting what you need done, done.

Answer 8

well a cut usually means he'll let some of the 25 who tried out go.  then the remaining will continue to prove if they are good for the team or not until the next cut is up.  the coach will keep making cuts until he gets the amount of girls he wants for the team. if you feel that you have done your best and that your better than everyone else you have nothing to worry about. when i tried out for volleyball i didnt do the physical but i got in. i did the physical after i got. but on your case since there is a lot of people trying out i would get the physical as soon as possible if its the only thing in the way of you getting pick for the team. good luck.

Answer 9

He will be reducing the team, for example from 40 to 25 team mates.

Answer 10

OMG!! me too. see our tryouts were 3 days long, I missed the first day because I didn't have my physical-I DID NOT THINK I WOULD MAKE IT. but did! when they made cuts (which means they send people home who didn't make it.) I made the team!By the way 80 girls tryed out for my school's team! so TRY YOUR BEST, and Im sure you can do it..Oh and last thing. when your on defense-go for the ball!! no matter what, dive every time, thats how they know your dedicated...ok GOOD LUCK!
