[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is looking at sports with requirements and schools without. Prep, Landon, St. John's, Sidwell, Potomac, STA. How different does that make the experience? Overall are you happy your school has one or does not have one?[/quote]if you don’t like it then don’t apply to that school. Very simple. I like it for my daughter because it means she feels less stress and is in a better mood after exercise each day. She does xc and voyagers (rock climbing) or dance, and then track or crew in the various seasons (and what she might try next year. At NCS) It is great team building at the school, you meet people you don’t have classes with or are out of the friend group you form. I also think it allows them to feel more confident joining Rec or club sports in college if they aren’t the sort to play at a higher level. We need healthy kids and mental and physical health stems from movement! 
My other child is very physically active and athletic and is at a school without a sport’s requirement beyond pe one year. If my daughter went to that school she would likely not be nearly as physically strong.[/quote]
