[quote=Anonymous]At most privates, not all, an average but committed athlete can find a sport to play. Some schools field particularly strong teams in some sports. So, for example, your kid likely won't make the Basketball team at Sidwell or DeMath, or the Baseball team at SJCHS. But overall, with few exceptions, the ratio of spots on teams, to students, is much better at private school, and so there will be some teams that are either no cut or close to no cut. At my kid's school, for example, any kid who tries out for cross country and isn't a total screw up will make it regardless of times, and even if you've never run before, running XC will get you in good enough shape that you'll make the easy cuts for Indoor and then Outdoor track.
