[quote=Anonymous]DD will be starting HS next year. She currently plays recreational basketball (winter) and lacrosse (spring). She does taekwondo year-round and has a strong interest in wanting to run track. I told her we wouldn't do rec league track and she had to wait for HS. Track meets take all day! Well, her local HS basketball team is highly competitive so I doubt she will make the team. That leaves lacrosse and track. They conflict in the spring so she will need to choose 1. I suspect she will pick track. Depending on how demanding track is she will have to make a decision about taekwondo.

My question is it looks like track meets every day from 3-6:30/7 pm and has a lot of meets, even in the week. [b]How does your HS student balance school and sports, especially if they take a few AP courses (I know freshman either take 1 or no AP classes, but I'm thinking long term). My child is smart but also has ADHD so it takes her longer to do school work than a neurotypical child so I'd love to hear from everyone but especially from people who have 2e kids with ADHD. [/b] I'm looking for their strategies. Study on way to games? Do homework in the mornings too? What?

To give you a sense of the type of classes she will need to take in HS, she is a math person. She wants to go to college for computer science so needs to take a decent amount of advanced math and science. She will take Algebra II Honors in 9th.

HS was so much easier in the 90s. I don't recall being overloaded and I played several sports. So I can't just reflect on my own experience to answer my own question.[/quote]
