Even sports like swimming and tennis have limited spots at the big schools.[/quote]

Parents must be delusional if they think it's easier to make a team at private schools compared to large public schools. Try making the cut for the tennis or golf team at either Langley High School (public) or Sidwell Friends (private), and you'll quickly see how tough the competition is. Both schools consistently win championships, and only a few spots on the roster, these kids are often trained from a young age because parents have lot of $$$. In fact, kids who get cut from Langley could easily be the top player at other schools in Fairfax County Public Schools. Just saying...

You are cherry picking…[b][i]the Sidwell football team is pretty bad and essentially any boy can play[/i][/b].  Baseball is usually OK but doesn’t cut much.  So, you choose a different sport

Basketball a completely different story as they are ranked nationally many years.

GDS is crappy in most sports…though tops in volleyball.

Obviously, the WCAC schools are competitive though you can make the teams at The Heights or Ireton as examples.

Go ahead if you want your kids to get CTE later in life.  There is a reason why you do not see rich families have their kids to play football, only country club sports.[/quote]

Plenty of rich kids play football, just not the ones you know.[/quote]
