[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS plays 3 sports at TJ and it's been fantastic for him.  Many of the sports practice/condition over the summer and it's a great way to make friends and therefore know kids before entering.  There is an open house in the spring where you can meet some coaches and kids (spring sports often have games/matches), but be sure to go to the sports night in June.

It's also a great way for parents to get involved/get clued in to what's going on too.[/quote]

We have had the same experience at TJ. I second going to the open house where your child can sign up for information about various sports and other extracurriculars. Participating in a fall sport is particularly good for a new student because of the opportunity to make friends during the summer.

Getting our child home from practices wasn't a problem for our family because we dont live that far away from TJ, but I know that a lot of families carpooled to the farther away areas, so that part works out.

[b]Sports have been a huge positive of my child's experience at TJ. I do believe that the physical activity and camaraderie provided by being part of a team are a great benefit for both physical and mental health. My kid was definitely more efficient at getting homework done after spending two hours working out and practicing with the team every day. [/b]

Totally agree![/quote]

+100 , my kid doesn't care about TJ studies as much as TJ sports.. He got selected without trying , and is interested in top colleges, and thinks sports will help him get scholarships easily.

So, he is very happy.
