The issue is that there aren’t any low key alternative to club sports after a certain age.  It’s either club or nothing.  It’s happened because the clubs are now owned by PEs and the parents are delusional about their kid's chances of getting a scholarship. [/quote]

Depends on sport and where you live.

Arlington Soccer has a great program for high school players.   One practice and game per week, coaches tend to be chill about players missing due to other commitments[/quote]

The thing is for developing kid one practice/one game a week doesn't really get a kid in shape.  I don't know that there is a "low commitment" way to get a kid in shape.  Kids need to run and play five days a week during middle school and so on.

I get the sentiment that it appears mutually exclusive, but I don't think there is a way to get an adolescent in tip top shape without the organized athletics.  This is why I feel the schools are basically failing here.[/quote]
