[quote=Anonymous]I think you hit on it with track OP. Or cross country. Yes you might pay for private coaching which is always going to be $$$ but running does not require special facilities access (very easy to find public availability to even very nice tracks and running trails) and the most minimal equipment possible. The problem with almost all sports is that once club options are developed for younger kids, you have to participate in order to be competitive for HS. It used to be much easier for people to do rec sports and still become competitive for HS as long as they were dedicated and worked hard (and usually, had som natural skill). That's not the case anymore. It's too bad. But it does help wealthy and UMC families protect their access to these sports as potential avenues for college scholarships and leadership opportunities for their kids, so I guess that's nice.[/quote]
