[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Many thanks for the suggestions. At St. Anselm's, are very strong athletes challenged athletically? DS isn't an "athletic 1%-er," but he's well into the top decile and he plays with passion. I love the idea of him playing a different sport each season (which I'm not positive he could pull off at Gonzaga or St. John's), but I'd also like him to experience different roles on different teams -- not always be the star. Would St. Anselm's offer that in a class of only 40 boys?[/quote]
I wouldn't recommend his playing a sport each season just from the standpoint of time management and workload. That being said, if your son is a top athlete, he won't be challenged athletically at St. Anselm's. [/quote]
I was a 2-sport athlete in HS. I used my season off to catch up on pot-smoking and video game playing. I disagree with PP's recommendation against playing a sport each season: a kid who loves to play should play. [/quote]

LOL.  So true.  Don't assume the season off is going to be spent grinding away on homework.  If your kids wants to play, let the kids play.[/quote]
