[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My brother made it a rule, all his kids had to try out for a varsity sport in high school. Try out. Any sport. Two of four kids didn't make their desired sport. But they ended up on other teams, teams that didn't cut. I watched from the sidelines, with interest through the years. I think it turned out well and was a good parenting call.[/quote] To each their own, but I wouldn't "make" my kids try out for anything in high school. It's hard enough to make my elementary and middle school kids to anything. Some kids also hate the whole tryout thing and I've had to reconcile myself with being okay with that. Not everyone loves competition and they get enough of that in DCUM-land school academics anyway.[/quote]
