what are walk ons?

Question

what exactly is a walk on for a high school basketball team? is it someone who didnt make the team at first but later on was able to join it?

Answer 1

i never heard much about a walk on for high.but for college,its someone who makes the team by just tiring out with no scholarship or hasn't talk to the coaches about playing when he or she joined school.you just go out and try out.the movie RUDY is a fine example.

Answer 2

A walk on is a player who isn't given a spot on a team but at try outs or later, the coach notices that the player has potential and offers him a spot on the team

Answer 3

A "walk on" is the term used for player(s) who did not go through the normal channels for being selected for their team (e.g., such as a try-out).

Walk on's usually make the team by showing exemplary skill which the coach notices. (e.g., hustle, good decision-making skills, effort, etc.) The player is then invited and given a spot on the team.
