[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought you could play for your home public school. Is that not right? [/quote]

Fir DCPS, only if the kid attends another dcps high school. 
I know this from the crew world. We had some parents of kids in private school insist their kids should be allowed to participate but the answer was always "No".[/quote]

For crew, a scholastic team is required to pull its student-athletes from one school. So no Walls kids on the J-R team. It’s not a DCPS rule. J-R did still have a few Walls kids last season despite the rule. But I think they are in compliance now.

Clubs can have mixed school teams. Our school is too small to have have a full team, but they all go to a club, and the boats are mixed schools.[/quote]

The above was in response to the general topic of competing for a school you don’t attend and specifically rowing for a DCPS HS. J-R, the only DCPS HS rowing team, only takes students from J-R.

Clubs are different. Students from different schools can be on a club team, even if their school has a rowing team. But this type of club is not eligible to participate in some events - scholastic - that are restricted to teams where all the rowers must be from the same school.

For example, TBC Racing is eligible for the Head of the Charles but not for Stotesbury.
