[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure about the benefits, but most kids try out a sport and join lots of clubs. However, once a C or D grade drops on the report card, the first thing that gets cut is sports.

The only kids who have the time to do sports for more than one year are the academically advanced students who can manage to go home after two to three hours of sports practice plus car ride, complete their homework, and be prepared for quizzes the next day. Managing sports along with academics is not for the faint of heart, few manage to do them beyond freshman year.  Junior year academics is brutal, last thing they are thinking about is doing sports.

My TJ kid played a sport all four years at TJ and all three seasons each year. He was also heavily involved in another outside of school competitive sport for the last three years at TJ. We knew lots of other kids on my kid’s teams who were just as involved with sports at TJ.

His academics never suffered and he went to a very competitive STEM oriented university- the admissions counselor noted to him at one point that they really liked the fact that he did so well at a school like TJ while also spending significant hours each week doing two very different sports.
