[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. [b]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).[/b][/quote] It very much depends on the sport. At my kids' HS this is nowhere near true for any sport except maybe football and cross country, at least for boys. Kids who do club/travel level for years get cut from teams. Even for things like swim which are no cut at some schools. I imagine this is true at most high schools where there are a lot of kids from families with the money to spend on travel sports from a young age.[/quote]
