[quote=Anonymous]Maybe. It depends on both the school and the sport. And also what you mean by “play”. What are your expectations? The sport makes a big difference. Basketball has far fewer players than does soccer, for instance and a depends upon not only size, but a highly developed skill set. The conference frequently matters with the WCAC schools usually at the top of the pyramid. There are exceptions to this as some of the schools in the “lower” conferences sometimes have teams that can play at a high level. Size, speed, and athleticism will eventually plays a role in high school athletic careers. I’ve seen lots of kids who were good, even very good, in middle school fall behind and fail to make the Varsity as juniors or seniors. But our experience was in football, basketball and lacrosse. Soccer and other sports may be different. Looking at your kids and making a clear eyed assessment of what their athletic potential is is a very hard thing for parents to do.[/quote]
