[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a freshman in high school. He is a straight A, three varsity sport athlete and joined a few this year. If I left him alone, he would probably play his sport and that is it. While he is a great athlete, I do not expect him to be a D1 recruit. He could potentially be a D3.

What was your kid doing the summer after freshman year?

My kid is a very well rounded kid, almost too well rounded. He has a wide interest pool including art, science, engineering, history and political science.[/quote]

If he's not trying to be recruited, have him join a summer league for a sport, get a part time job (hard at that age but he could lifeguard or something), vacation, take an online summer class (like summer PE, which is what mine did).

My DID go through recruiting so that was not compatible with a job, which was a bummer as DC wanted to work. But with all the tourneys and showcases it wasn't possible. So count your lucky stars not to have to deal with those. My kid loved doing all that stuff but I didn't as much. LOL[/quote]
