How can you letter in a sport?

Answer 1

Lettering in a sport usually has to do with your High School years. If you letter in a sport that means that you played on the Varsity team and you remained on the team for that entire year. To letter you must play a varsity sport and usually at the end of the year most teams throw a banquet and your coach will hand you the initials of your school which is considered your letter, it is also what you put on letterman jackets in high school.

Answer 2

do you mean get a letter as in for a letterman jacket for high school? You need to be in varsity for a sport for starters. Then you will receive your school's "letter" which you can patch onto a letterman jacket which you buy separately.
