[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this is what happens when you have HSs with 3000 kids and only 24 spots on the soccer roster. Also, most of the HS coaches are terrible so your kid will learn more playing club or rec.

But this is also real life. [/quote]

Yep, these large schools are awful.  I don't understand why parents move into these districts even the good ones.  Oh but they have a few extra classes to select from.

However, it is true a spot on a competitive basketball team where the coach is trying to sell tickets is much different than when parents pay for coaching.  It's more like a job even at smaller schools.  There is a reason competitive D1 colleges lost to the basketball and football players when the players demanded pay.[/quote]

I don't think couples with no kids or even just toddlers are thinking about the size of the HS they feed into (they likely care about how elementary/middle/HS rank academically) and what it will mean for sports for their kids who either don't yet exist or aren't playing sports.

I also don't think anyone believes it's a big enough issue to move when their kids are older and it finally hits them that making the Madison HS baseball team is hard as one example.[/quote]

Actually, it is a thing.  In travel circles with younger kids, parents at smaller schools make fun of parents at larger schools because, we can make a team.[/quote]

Sports parents are just lovely.
