[quote=Anonymous]I'm the 12:07 poster.  Many of the high school sports teams train year round.  Rising 9th graders can participate in the off-season training.

I have a current freshman and this past spring, when he was still in 8th grade, we went to an orientation at the high school.  Most of the sports teams were there and were recruiting students to try out for their teams and join them in off-season training.  We talked to several of the coaches and my DS decided he wanted to try golf.  The golf team goes to the driving range about once a week during the off-season.  My DS was able to join them when he was still in 8th grade.

I also think there is some "allowed cheating."  My DS also plays lacrosse.  There is a lacrosse league near us that my DS has played on.  You have to be in 8th grade to participate.  We pay for it.  Ironically, the coaches are all the high school lacrosse coaches.  The boys are all grouped on teams based on geography, so my son was on the team coached by our high school lacrosse coach and all the players were kids that were either current students or rising 9th graders.

Maybe that is what your 7th grader is talking about.[/quote]
