[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid reports lots of kids showed up to tryouts that participated in 0 summer stuff, and that many are good and making the cuts. So let’s agree that maybe the summer stuff isn’t necessary for good athletes.

And let’s also agree these MCPS sports teams -  teams of 15-30 kids in high schools of 2-3,000 - aren’t for everyone. They’re for very good athletes! Rec and club are there for kids to play when activity buses allow. Kids who are gonna show to all the 10am practices in July are either already committed to this type of schedule or have the initiative and wherewithal to ask the coach for logistical help, which if asked, any coach or AD should provide in the form of a carpool assist or something.

Lots of sour grapes here. I fully respect the challenges of being a single mom. But let’s try to problem solve instead of just complain.

F[b]or those suggesting tryouts should be after school starts: you don’t understand how sports work at higher levels.[/b] That’s ok. Why would you. But this ain’t it. It takes lots of time and dedication and extra planning. [/quote]

You think MOCO HS sports are higher level?  LOL[/quote]
