[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For two environmentally conscious schools that deemphasize athletics, I'm appalled that GDS and Sidwell each devote huge chunks of land to an athletic field. The two schools, are close enough to one another that they could share athletic fields and save land for other purposes such as . . . (crazy idea) . . . academics![/quote] You don't know anything about sports, clearly. Schools have about 3 hours of daylight after the academic day in which to fit practices and games for varsity and JV teams for boys and girls in multiple field sports. A school like Sidwell has 8 teams in the fall sharing their fields (varsity and JV football, field hockey, girls soccer, and boys soccer). GDS does not even have field space for field hockey nor do they have football, and field space is still tight.[/quote]
