[quote=Anonymous] The posters who note that it is not necessary to play on a high school team to get into D1 sports programs in most sports makes an interesting point -- AAU, etc. And as it turns out, that point supports the notion that independent schools should not be going out of their way to build their teams with recruits that don't meet other academic standards for the reasons noted in an earlier post -- at least that's how I would hope our DC's school would see it. There is plenty of time for recruiting to colleges and beyond. Why should this be even on the radar screen of independent schools? Develop the talent that you have by admitting kids within the school's usual applicant pool. If more schools took this approach they could form leagues to play against one another, and as long as the teams are relatively balanced you should see good games even if the level of play overall is a notch down.
