[quote=Anonymous][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. [/quote] Why isn’t your kid going out for track? They don’t have cuts and you can do field events if you don’t like running. You have opportunities you just need to use them.[/quote]
