[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's one bit of advice for a year from now... if your 8th grader might be interested in playing a fall sport in high school, tryouts are mandatory and begin much earlier than you'd expect-- this year Blair's tryouts begin around Aug. 14, and it was earlier last year. My kids had rising 9th grade friends who missed the opportunity to be on a fall sport team because their parents had planned camps or vacations for the second half of August, and they missed tryouts. (It may not seem like a big deal now, but making friends and getting to know the campus during the couple of weeks before starting high school does a lot to mitigate anxiety about moving into such a big and overwhelming school environment.) 
In terms of pools, there are almost certainly waitlists for the pools that tend to have students from your schools (Daleview, Franklin Knolls, Northwest Branch). Good luck![/quote]

Thanks. So 9th grade tryouts are August before 9th grade?[/quote]

Yes - major fall sports are soccer, cross country, football, field hockey (girls). Soccer is insanely competitive, cross country is no cuts. [/quote]
