+1. I don't understand the question.  In most NCAA sports, the club teams rule and playing for HS is irrelevant.  [/quote]

Often true, but some sports it would look very odd to not play in HS, especially if your HS is competitive in that sport.

Football is the one sport where HS really matters, as there really is not a travel circuit.  Basketball it technically does not matter, but it would look odd to attend Sidwell and play on an AAU team but not for the HS.  That would usually be a tell that you were not good enough to play for Sidwell (which is very strong in basketball).

Same, if you attend SJC and don't play on the baseball team but play travel baseball...the only exception would be if you are so good that you are playing on one of the crazy national travel teams where literally 1/2 the team sends kids to the MLB.  However, even those teams don't usually play during the main HS baseball season.  Also, if you are on one of those teams everyone knows who you are and you aren't playing D3 baseball.

Soccer is definitely different.  Kids play for academy teams that often won't allow you to play for the HS team.
