[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, there's a clear answer here: so far as colleges are concerned, participation in high school athletics matter no more and no less than any other kind of high school extracurricular activity UNLESS you're a recruited athlete. In that case it matters a great deal more. So if your kid can't make the varsity team he wasn't going to get recruited anyway. [/quote] My frustration isn't about student athletes and being recruited. A 9th grader shouldn't have to compete at the Varsity level to be able to play for their school, have the chance to grow by being a part of a team sport, etc. Fewer teams = fewer extracurricular opportunities for our students.
