[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds as though the issue isn't that he's not doing sports.  It's that he's not doing sports at school.

I've been trying to figure out a middle school that starts at 5th, has enough no cut sports for all the 5th graders, and doesn't make sports mandatory the way Bullis or Landon or Sidwell does, but I'm  failing.

Given that, I think it's likely that there will be other boys not doing sports, and he just needs to find them.  Does the school have things like choir or drama during the same time period?  Most schools that put a high value on sports these are two different time periods. [/quote]

Green Acres. No sports requirement.  There are plenty of kids in my son's grade who prefer other activities to sports. For those that want to play, nobody is turned away due to lack of skill. All are welcome. The athletic director/coaches are very encouraging. My son actually wishes it were more competitive so he plays on other teams outside school. But he has lots of fun on the school teams. [/quote]
