[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The  state of Maryland sets the dates HS sports can start practicing 3 years out.  It's on you for not finding this out when you have an athletic kid[/quote]

This isn't an MCPS decision. The entire athletic season schedule in high school in controlled by the state sports association. https://www.mpssaa.org/

Also, if you have already make the decision to be involved in a club travel team, I'm not sure why you would be surprised that high school athletics takes over all spare time.[/quote]
By “they” should change tryouts, I meant the state association.

And yes we and many families go out of state or out of country most of summer and telecommute.[/quote]

High school sports aren't for everyone.  The players are expected to make serious commitments and dedicate their efforts and time to preparing to win. The goal is to win state championships. If that isn't your goal, then your goal isn't compatible with the team. Many kids are there to do the best they can and to win. For many it helps with college. For some, it might mean a scholarship.

If that isn't what you're bringing to the court, then it isn't the place for your athlete.[/quote]
