My high school had a terrible football team when I went there. I was also a girl so I wasn't allowed to play football. I managed to avoid taking gym until my senior year when I had do a full year of it to graduate. The gym teacher was also a football coach and thought I played flag football too rough so I could only go after male classmates.

I also never took Washington state history so I had to do an after school study group to graduate. That's because I went to 3 different middle schools between 2 different districts so it got dropped and no one noticed until the last quarter of my senior year.

I played soccer and softball and loved both of them as a kid until my crippling depression in high school got in to 1st gear. Honestly if I had a kid those are the sports I'd put them in, just sub baseball for softball depending on gender ID. A good friend's niece got a sweet soccer scholorship to play at the UW. My baby sister is on her high school's long distance track team and loves it.

On the other hand I was absolutely a menace when played team sports as a kid. I've mellowed out considerably as an adult and I miss my works coed softball league. That was fun and also how I broke nose.

My girlfriend was a swimmer and got a poors pity scholorship for crew, so those are good if you've got a kid who likes the water and/money. The crew experience set her up with some serious connections that she uses even 20 years later. Being good at rich people sports when you're not rich can be a solid ticket up the ladder sometimes.
