[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Over scheduling is kid dependent.

I have one kid who can do back to back sports, can go to practice, skills training and hang out with friends on the same team and it will feel fine. Then we throw in math tutoring and all of a sudden, my kid feels overwhelmed and he has too many activities per day.[/quote]

I don’t think the question is whether he can or wants to do that. The question is whether he SHOULD. People are saying no. [/quote]

If your kid wants to compete in high school, that kid needs to play a lot in elementary. My oldest just started high school and many kids got cut from basketball, tennis, baseball, etc. many kids who play travel and club got cut. I doubt any kids who play just rec could make any team.[/quote]

So highly sport and school dependent.

Example: at Hayfield SS enough girls tried out for softball that they could easily fill the varsity and JV teams and still make a few cuts. At Lewis HS not far away they only can field a varsity team that plays everyone else's JV teams because they are so new to the sport.[/quote]

We live in McLean. Everything is competitive.[/quote]

Not football and basketball [/quote]

Why aren’t football and basketball competitive?  The top two American sports?   I don’t think ice hockey is competitive either.  That leaves baseball. [/quote]
