[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't realize what a waste of time HS & club sports are until you step away. HS sports back in my day were not 2.5 hours per day 5-6 days per week. Parents were not spending entire weekends at tournaments in depressing locations eating bad food. The majority of HS players will not be recruited. Your child is better off doing rec and spending time on studies and other interests. [/quote]

I don’t see a problem with school sports.  It’s right after school, same location, and parents don’t have to drive them to games.

Club sports are more like cheerleading and dance competition groups.  They spend whole weekends at a chain hotel to perform their five minute routine.   The amount of time spent on traveling to locations, waiting around, hotel, traveling home is way too much to justify.  There needs to be more local programs.  A lot of rec programs stop at middle school.  [/quote]

High school sports practices and games are not right after school, LOL. Gym and field use is scheduled in shifts amongst all the teams. Your kid could have the 7:30-9:30 practice time slot and you are driving back and forth. [/quote]

That’s too bad your school needs to do that.  We have massive amounts of fields so we don’t need to do that.  Along with basketball, cheerleading, volleyball and others are indoors it works out well.   I picked my daughter at 6 pm most days. Same with my son who was in the musicals and plays.  [/quote]

Good for you but that's not the case for many schools in the DMV. [/quote]

Dying to know which schools around here have "massive" amounts of fields.[/quote]

They aren’t in the DMV area.   Wealthy suburbs typically have large fields.  Private schools in cities usually have fields that they bus the kids to after school.   If a high school wants opportunities for all students to play they would find the space.  [/quote]
