[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This will vary greatly from athlete to athlete, school to school. All honors classes could mean a lot of things. My DCs were all honors classes kids, but it was totally fine because that was the appropriate level for them; the kids whose parents pushed them to punch above their weight class academically struggled, and adding an additional sports team commitment would be a very bad idea. DCs' school had a block schedule that really made the HS and club team double up in the fall doable. If you are at a school where your DD has all of their classes every day, this will be more challenging. Lastly, you will want to make sure your DD talks with her coaches. HS in-season sport MUST take priority, and she will likely have to miss some of the fall club off-season workouts. Good communication (and a little understanding from the coaches) is absolutely crucial.

The short answer: it's not easy, but it's doable.  [/quote]

OP here, and she would definitely talk to her club coach to get her blessing first. Coach has always said winter sports are the priority over winter training for main sport but not sure if she would go for a HS sport in the fall as we are not in HS yet and it has not come up. We do already know that club practice will be 7:30-9:30 so would not regularly conflict except for when there are HS games. Also on block schedule and also a kid for whom honors is definitely the right level. [/quote]
