Re: Were you picked first or last for the sports team?
ads,
At soccer, football, dodgeball, and kickball, captain or near the top. At volleyball, basketball, and baseball, near the middle.
I think it's great to have this sort of system, because at the levels where this usually goes on the talent difference is such that even an unpopular kid who gets picked last can make himself get picked higher just by putting in some extra effort. In dodgeball, for example, the people who weren't afraid to run up to grab the ball and were willing to take a chance on tough catches always got picked higher up.
Basically, I agree w/ Al's post. Things like getting picked in this manner and winning trophies and stuff are great practice for real life imo.
