What a completely disingenuous statement. First no schools recruit for crew (as that's the specific sport being discussed here) as crew doesn't start until 9th grade in any school and there is no "rec or club crew" so [b]there is no one to recruit for crew[/b]. Second Holton does recruit for sports in that they try to get girls who are good at certain sports to come there. I have first hand experience with that (lacrosse).  Holton isn't the only school that does that (try to get girls who excel at certain sports to come to their school) but they definitely do it.

You are incorrect. I know girls, including NCS girls, who start rowing well before 9th at private crew clubs. Sometimes a school recruits someone who has been rowing, sometimes a school encourages younger girls to start rowing so they are experienced by the time they are old enough to row for the school.[/quote]

This is complete bs.  NCS does not recruit for crew.  Its not even a school sport - its a club sport.  Its run by parents. Admissions doesnt care.[/quote]

Crew is a varsity sport at both NCS and St. Albans.  Students get varsity letters. They train using school facilities and there is school transportation.  Because it is not a league sport there is a hybrid structure where it's funded as a club sport (e.g. User fees and fundraisising), but there's definitely school oversight as well (athletic directors are part of the area crew council which governs the sport in this area).  The school facilities/user fees/fundraising is the dominant model at private schools in this area.[/quote]

How much does it cost parents if their child participates?[/quote]
