[quote=Anonymous]Very good athlete + finding sports that either complement each other from a skills perspective, and/or one or more is a sport that you can pick up when you are older. If you go to a very small school, that helps too, because while you might not be the top player on all three teams, they need numbers. DS is an excellent athlete and plays baseball essentially year-round with his club team and then school team in the spring, but he also plays fall soccer and runs winter track at his school. He's a sophomore so we may be nearing the end of his ability to do three seasons and balance that with academics, but so far it's been manageable.

I also think girls have a better shot at playing all three seasons' worth of sports because, even today, far fewer girls are strong in multiple sports, so it's a numbers issue. A friend's daughter is at a large MCPS school, and they frequently have to beg girls to join various teams. Her JV basketball team barely had enough girls to play; most of the girls on the field hockey team had never played before.
