[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I'd be happy for my kids to get more exercise[/b], but they make these sports so unpleasant by making it so you can't do other ECs or interfere with family vacations. It's not like these kids are going pro. Why do they take themselves so seriously?[/quote]

Sounds like your kids should do rec sports. Kids put a lot of time & effort into being good at these sports by high school and aren’t at practice just to hit 10,000 steps for the day. [/quote]

I don't think the county should subsidize semi-pro club sports. County athletics should benefit all students. Not just those who want to focus on this one aspect of their lives.[/quote]

There are limited numbers of spots on high school teams due to limited resources in terms of uniforms, field/court/pool space, coaching ratios, busing & entry fees (for XC invitationals). Why shouldn’t the best athletes make the team? High school athletes don’t want to play with kids who are there to smell the roses.[/quote]
