[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. In the two+ months since I started this thread, DD has decided there is no way she could manage the fall HS sport along with her club sport schedule in the fall. She is going to try out for a winter HS sport, but knows she is unlikely to make the team. The missing out on social stuff due to her sport is something she has been doing for years already and something she fully expects to continue through high school and college. [/quote]

That makes me sad about the state of sports! I know things are different than when we were in HS, but sports were such an integral part of my HS experience, and definitely one I want my kids to have. They like sports, so it’s not like I’m forcing them, but it seems like if they are really good, they might just play club to try to play that particular sport in college, but then, if they’re not good enough, they won’t even make the HS team. Is my type of experience dead?, where a decent athlete could play a role from the freshman team to making JV as a soph/junior and then Varsity as a junior or senior and knowing that your senior year is it, so you have to go for it and win that state championship with all your friends!?[/quote]

OP here, and I think that is still true at plenty of high schools around here. But also, at many it is not at all the case. Just depends on the school. [/quote]
