[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Give them opportunities to try various sports at rec level. You can sport hop, keep what they like, and drop what they don't like. They can play 2-3 rec sports for a few of years until they decide what they like best. That's when you try to get them in a club. They should not have a problem getting into JV if they play club one or two years before high school (but it may depend on the sport).[/quote]

I should have also mentioned that you can make some teams even without club experience, depending on how popular the sport is. The same sport may be highly competitive in one HS (you really need the club experience) and not very competitive in a different HS (you can make it with rec experience only). Then you have a middle ground, where some club kids show up and make the team, then the coaches figure out how to fill up the team with players without club experience. You cannot really plan depending on how your HS team performs right now because things may change by the time your kids finish middle school. [/quote]
