[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Even if your child is a very experienced athlete, it’s likely that they will play at the Varsity level and play games that matter much earlier than they would at their base school.

One thing that also essentially
doesn’t exist at all at TJ is the politics of playing time. If your kid is pretty good, they’re not going to have to do X Y and Z extra thing in order to please the coach, or have to be on or have been on whatever travel team.[/quote]

The bolded really varies by base school. In many sports there's a disparity across FCPS (and then comparing FCPS to the other districts that TJ draws from).[/quote]

I should amend my comment that it pretty much applies to team sports rather than individual sports. It’s very hard to crack the rotation in, say, tennis or swim at TJ, but if you have experience in lacrosse, field hockey, basketball, baseball/softball, or certainly football, you’ll probably have a very successful career at TJ.[/quote]

This is true, and if we're being honest, the district that TJ plays in is pretty weak in most team sports so you'll probably experience a fair amount of winning, too.[/quote]
