[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]May start off in the military academy prep schools first, if standardized test scores or grades not up to par to get in without the sport. They play the sport at the prep schools and compete against other prep schools and junior colleges, I believe.

If Army, Navy, or Air, that's D1 and will involve traveling for the sport, which obviously will take up some time. Not sure if they can take a lightened course load, though. If they can get in without doing a D1 sport, it may be an "easier" time -- relatively speaking. [/quote]

Op here. Yes, d1 is the goal although d1 sports at these schools aren’t all that competitive compared to many other d1 schools, from what I can see.

Dc is intent on playing his sport in college. His academic stats are fine, acc to the coaches.

Did your dc get recruited and end up at an academy? Anything he/she would do differently?

Dc has been to USAFA, WP and Navy and seems to enjoy them all. At one, they even took the kids through the early morning wake up, being yelled at routine, and dc handled it fine. In fact, he was disappointed that his time there wasn’t more physically rigorous. [/quote]
