[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter’s club team for a different sport had this rule too.  3 missed practices (not excused sick) and you were off the team.  It seems pretty typical once you get to a high level of play.  And this was just at the middle school age but well beyond rec.  [/quote]

High school sports is not a high level of play, in the grand scheme of life. These kids don't have multi-million dollar contracts to uphold. Yes, accountability and responsibility are important, but so are grace and human development.[/quote]

No, but let’s take your example of multimillion dollar contracts and high-level of play. High school is just that, high school where they’re learning to further their academics and athletic life. This is where they’re learning to be accountable and this is where they’re learning that they’re part of a team and that is successful team needs all players to be present.  The extreme example is that some of these high-level athletes learn accountability and character in high school.

If you have a student who is overstretched in sports, theater, and so many AP classes that they can’t meet their obligations then they should probably drop some thing so that they can put all their focus into what they are most passionate about and academics.
