[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are so many good clubs and my DS who is starting in the fall is interested in sports and clubs. I talked to a student there, and she said some of the sport practices are later, not right after school so if schedule works out, you could do clubs and sports same trimester. Kid can stay after school and do everything. It will be such a game changer not to have to drive him anywhere. BTW, DCI did not plan it but they have become a sport powerhouse I hear.[/quote] Powerhouse is a strong word. When the only quality programs they play are BASIS and Latin, it becomes clear that the three schools are full of kids who play travel sports and therefore are, in general, at a higher level.[/quote] Well, it’s like that everywhere and not unique to DC. Lots of kids playing at a higher level than just rec, competitive tryouts at school sports with kids who can play well and make the cut, coaches expecting higher performances overall. It’s also nice that your kid is on a team with kids who are serious about sports and have decent skills. I would argue that more schools in DC, especially middle and high schools should support and fund their stronger sport programming departments. As to Basis and Latin and whatever schools they play in their division, yes DCI wins lots of championships. [/quote]
