Their finding are idiotic.  Lots of focus on baseball as a high school sport.  The notion that DCPS kids — who don’t grow up playing baseball outside of upper NW and don’t play travel —- will be national standouts is laughable.

If anything, high school sports would be dramatically improved by more indoor basketball courts.  
DCPS elementary kids play games in their lunchroom at some schools.  For high school kids, the struggle for gym space is unbelievable. [/quote]

The premise was idiotic so it's not surprising the findings were idiotic. They're really not doing the vast majority of kids any favors by leading them to believe that professional athletics is a viable career path. They may as well have classes in picking lottery numbers.

Sports are great for kids, but they should be focusing on creating more opportunities for participation. [/quote]

+1.  Use the money and energy into creating more sports programming at the schools, especially those EOTP where some schools have none.[/quote]
