This is true of almost any urban or suburban area in America. You might be surprised how much worse Texas, CO, and CA can be than here, or even Florida where certain sports never stop. I don't think it's at all specific to DC/NOVA/MD.

I hear in other parts of the country, kids get homeschooled and such when they are really good at sports.  That would be unheard of (or really frowned upon) here.[/quote]

That happens in the DC area, as well.  I know of several kids who have special school arrangements to allow them to play their sport. [/quote]

All of the kids that I know were really good, were steered by college recruiters toward an academy that had a modified school schedule on site/adjacent to facility or to a power high school for whichever sport in one region.   Know two from this area at golf academies, one in FL and one in SC, one at a top hockey club in FL that has an agreement with a private school, one at a riding academy in FL, one at a top basketball school in CA, and one at IMG don't remember the sport.[/quote]
