High School Varsity Sports should be eliminated

Although I find this kind of argument to be inherently biased toward Con, I will try my best to 1) persuade voters that not all "high school varsity sports promote teamwork and cooperation at a higher level than regular sports. " I will also try to 2) defeat my opponents claim that there is a correlation between participating in varsity sports at some point in ones high school career and becoming a professional athlete. 1) Not all high school varsity sports promote teamwork and cooperation at a higher lever than regular sports. 1a) "Not all high school varsity sports promote teamwork and cooperation" -- Wrestling is a high school varsity sport in which an individual bouts another individual of a similar weight class by using locks, holds, pins, take downs, and throws to help submit the other competitor on the wrestling mat. There is no point in any match where a teammate is allowed to assist or interfere with the individuals who are wrestling. Thus, each wrestler operates alone while he or she is wrestling in the match. The only way teamwork would be applied to wrestling would be to combine the statistics of each individual effort on the team, but even then its just combining data, the statisticians don't contribute to "teamwork" anyway. Golf can be explained in the same way with the exception of scrabble matches, where teams shoot from the same spot and keep the best score at the end of each hole. Tennis, with the exception of doubles matches, is also set up in the same manner. Swimming, minus relay teams, is done without the assistance of a teammate. Bowling is done by one person per frame, and again, only the combination of the final scores creates the illusion of teamwork. This concludes my point that "not all high school sports promote teamwork and cooperation". 1b) There are some sports that do include teamwork in the traditional form. Some of these high school varsity sports are baseball, basketball, football, lacrosse, ice hockey, and soccer. So I would like to rephrase the previous statement to read: "Of the high school varsity sports that promote teamwork and cooperation, they do so at a higher level than regular sport. " I would like to contend this by saying first that you weren't specific in defining what a "regular sport" is, so I have to assume that it is something similar to what you would find in a high school varsity sport, but without the high school players. To me, this resembles a travel team that is for kids of the same age groups as high school students, but is associated with the city or some other organization that is not a high school. I have to reason to believe that outside of each coaches subjective teaching style, that there are any advantages to playing at a high school that would offer a higher level of teamwork and cooperation other than what is inherently offered in each respective. I would like to invite Con to bear the burden of proof to help support his statement there. 2) "Most professional athletes in the world come from a varsity team at some point. " That is to say there is a correlation between participating in varsity sports at some point in ones high school career and becoming a professional athlete. -- This would suggest that by playing high school varsity sports, athletes are more likely to qualify for the professional league of their sport. I would disagree by saying that the chances of making it into any professional sport is very slim. Also, for every person who plays a high school sport and makes it into the professional league of their sport, there are thousands of kids who go through the same varsity sports, at the same schools, all across the country, that do not make their respective professional leagues. It is just pure numbers that support Con's argument. There are more kids attend high school than kids who do not attend high school all across the country. So by pure chance, there are going to be more professional athletes that attended high school than those who did not attend high school.
