[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Potomac put a big emphasis on the “quality” of sports on their high school tour. —- and made clear they valued that over mere participation and giving kids a chance to try new things. They sounded a bit elitist about it. There’s no simple PE option if you don’t want to be on a team. Some schools we toured either had a pe program and or said they would encourage students to try out new sports and emphasized opps to join teams that didn’t have cuts. Of all the schools we toured (and we did 8 or 9), Potomac was most limiting for the non-sporty kid. Sidwell, gds, Burke, maret, wis, st Andrews and others all had better options/choices for someone who might want to be active or even play a sport but who isn’t necessarily sporty.[/quote] Students who don't want to be on a sports team, but want physical activity, often participate in lifetime sports or weights & conditioning.
