[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]quick question - how would the a later MS time impact those 8th graders that may make a high school JV sports team?

I'm in favor of a later time for my middle schooler but he is also very active after school in activities (at school) and outside school.  He loves it and he NEEDS all the physical activity he can get.

If middle school got out later, they would not be able to participate in most high school sports. Practices would start before middle school ends. And little to no middle school sports would be an option. [/quote]

How many MS kids participate in HS sports? This is a thing?

Also, it’s not any different than kids at HB who go to their “home” HS for sports. They do it, so can the 5 MS kids who play HS sports.[/quote]
Good point. HB ends latest and they’ve found a way to make it work[/quote]

For HS. Kids at HB cannot participate in MS sports. [/quote]

But that's because they don't have MS sports at HB to begin with.  HS students go back to their neighborhood HS for sports (except Ultimate).  Do MS go back to their home MS for sports now?

To clarify, some MS kids (eg Swanson) okay on their high School (eg W&L) when they are in eighth grade. It’s a way of playing up.[/quote]
Do we know how many kids actually do this?[/quote]

Eighth graders a can tryout for football, field hockey, volleyball, cross country, softball, baseball, lacrosse and crew- those sports they don’t offer at the middle school level. [/quote]
