[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our family is in the public school system but have a child, an 8th grader,  with some outstanding athletic skills.  How does one go about getting this child seen by coaches and recruiters from area private schools?  Admission wouldn't be a problem. Child is also a scholar. Do private schools offer scholarships based on athletics if they want a certain athlete to attend?[/quote]

Which sport?[/quote]

This is OP.  Sport is baseball and HHI is around 160K[/quote]

St Albans, Georgetown Prep and St Johns would be the schools that would give you the best advantage for baseball.[/quote]

This is good advice. I have a son who is similarly talented. My hook was an alumni who was very involve with the school's sport program and had knowledge of my DC's academic potential. He asked the school's coach to come see my DC. I don't qualify for FA, but they told me not to worry about it that'll get taken care of. My kid also had direct ( by being at the right place at the right time) interest from coaches who's known to have placed athletes in D1 and beyond who called the school's coach as a 'favor' to let him know they're interested. In other words OP, who you know matters. I think getting your kid involve in a good club team is key as well. You have to get out there and grind and get notice. You have to work both ends. Good luck.  [/quote]
