[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A school like Sidwell will have somewhere between 10-20 in any given year across sports like boys and girls basketball or soccer, football, girls crew, boys and girls tennis, an occasional boys or girls lacrosse, an occasional wrestler (boys or girls) and then some kids will have out of school sports like sailing or fencing.[/quote]

This.

The recruited athletes are regionally or nationally competitive on their sport’s travel or club or state team. Individual or team. Mainstream or not (squash, fencing, table tennis, speed walking, etc.)

Wash DC isn’t some place with AAAAA big time sports public schools like long beach poly PHS or westlake PHS or highland park PHS. Or privates like Harvard westlake sports programs. They just don’t have total students, athletic budget or top coaching staff to supplant a travel team program’s expertise.

SJC comes closest. Sidwell started recruiting basketball team members around the coaches’ kids. But schools and parents here are academic focused.  The athletic minded parents let AAU, ECNL or Team Maryland handle it. And then you might need a more understanding private or public school due to missing Fridays. [/quote]
