[quote=Anonymous]OP, this is part of the reason we chose private school. Both DH and I were D1 athletes. Our kids, not so much. We encouraged sports from a young age, and I have always believed the drive and competitiveness needs to come from the child. My kids tried DH's sport and mine, but ultimately they each chose a different ones. The kids are good at sports, not great. It was evident from a young-ish age that they were not D1. We're wealthy so, they don't need scholarships. Anyway, we still want them to play and enjoy the sports as they are part of a healthy lifestyle. Private school has fewer kids, so more can play and generally the level of play is a bit lower. Of course, there is always that awesome athlete, but there are also average ones too. Now the claws will come out to convince you the level of play is higher or more competitive or whatever, but it's a numbers game - fewer kids to choose from - it comes from smaller class sizes.[/quote]
