[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just for future reference there is actually training starting right after July 1 for returning kids. [b]If you want your kid in HS sports, the summer Isn’t yours. [/b]

As for tryouts and practice, depends on the school and coach as to whether they will allow your son to participate. Also make sure that the physical is done timely. That can also disqualify him. There was s a required form and you can’t deviate. This stuff is all on the school website. [/quote]

Yeah, that's a big hard pass on Fall sports then.  My kids play travel summer sports and that is a priority over training.

Let me ask.  Do winter and spring sports require training to start 2 months ahead of time too?  Are you not allowed to play more than one sport at a school.  [/quote]

There’s no reason summer travel sports should preclude training except for those times that a kid is actually traveling, which isn’t all the time. Your kids are going to be expected to do more and more strength conditioning and sport-specific training as they get older, and, yes, some of that will be in season. Winter and spring sports also have summer programs and have for decades.

If you plan to stay in MCPS, the good news for you is that high school sports are only half a notch above rec league. If your kid is good enough to play high-level travel, high school coaches will welcome your kid onto the team regardless of whether your kid was a full participant in the summer program. Reach out and show up when you can and everything will be fine.

But don’t be that parent who complains about the commitments outside of the season because that alone could keep your kid off the team. [/quote]
