[quote=Anonymous]^agree. We had one of these grade 7 interactions with the coach and, while better than OP’s interaction, it was not promising. Our neighbors had also told us not to go to School X just for Sport Y. At that point, DS in 7th grade, we all thought that he might play that sport in college. At the time I was worried, but DS loved School X, and I said to myself, how bad can it be? Fast forward and the answer was: quite bad. It was toxic. After his freshman year, I suggested a transfer, but DS was still loving everything other than Sport Y and would not consider a transfer. He played all four years because Sport Y was in his blood, but every season brought a new challenge and became a matter of survival, not enjoyment. It all worked out because he loved the school and will now be playing a different sport in college. But at the same time, the signs were there going in and I still wonder whether we could have found a better school overall.[/quote]
