[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The richer and larger the high school the harder it is to make the high school team for very popular sports. FCPS high schools soccer and basketball are ridiculously hard to make. But even at these schools football, rowing, cross country, track, wrestling, rifle, and lacrosse have relatively few if any cuts. My son didn’t make the freshman basketball team at his FCPS high school, but we were visiting my sister and her son plays varsity basketball at their small Nebraska public school, and my son went along with his cousin to an out of season “captain’s practice” for the varsity team. My son was better than all but one of the varsity players despite not making the team here. It’s very much a regional thing. [/quote] It’s just so frustrating because it takes so much work and money to even live in this part of country. When your kids do get the privilege to live here, everything is super competitive [/quote]
