[quote=Anonymous]My DD does an intense year-round sport, akin to swimming or gymnastics. Missing practice is ok for anyone if they are throwing up or have a fever. It is also ok for a funeral. Depending on the time of year, it's also ok if it's one day at the end of a long international trip to see family during the team's one-week summer break, a once-a-year school concert or vent, etc. Here's the rub- you'll learn quickly the reality of attendance rules for your club vs. what's on paper. My DD has teammates who have missed practices for an entire week during a main competition season and the coaches don't care. And she has other teammates who are held out of competitions for missing a practice 3 weeks beforehand. Like so many things in life, there are loopholes if you are good enough at what you do.[/quote]
