[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD has tried a variety of sports - soccer, basketball, volleyball, hockey and will only last maybe 3 weeks before saying she doesn't like it.  She likes swimming but is only okay at it and not sure she could even properly swim the entire length of the pool; has tried tennis and doesn't dislike it; and re: track, is generally a slow runner.  I just want her to do [b]a[/b] sport - not excel at it.  I think it would be helpful when acclimating to private high school to participate in something.  Any thoughts?  Is it too late?[/quote]

Most schools require participation in a fall, winter and spring activity. Also, most schools have sports teams that cut but have activities for everyone such as volunteering, yearbook, etc. Your DD will acclimate just fine doing an activity or trying a no cut sport. I know Rock climbing is available at some schools so that is something she could potentially get into before she starts high school. If you give the specific schools, people on the board can explain how it works at their kid’s school.[/quote]
