[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn’t this depend entirely how competitive a particular team is at a certain school? I can’t imagine that every single high school sports team is really that competitive. Some of you guys are intense and your kids will burn out way before high school.[/quote] Yes. At many DCPS high schools, kids with no experience can play baseball or football. At Wilson (DCIAA and former DCSAA champs and frequent USA Today national top 25 team), there are three boys basketball teams, 120 kids show up for both Freshman/JV and varsity tryouts, and as far as I know every single kid on at least JV and Varsity has years of travel experience, while many varsity starters in previous years have been nationally ranked players. At schools like Gonzaga, St. John’s, DeMatha, Paul VI, etc., my understanding is that pretty much all sports are full of travel/ranked kids, many of whom are recruited specifically for their athletic prowess.
