[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn’t hard, folks. If academics are the priority, opt out of the intensive sports. If sports are the priority, opt out of the rigorous academics. There is plenty of choice here, you just need to prioritize appropriately.[/quote] 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] In Vienna, we have tons of rec sports that go all the way through high school. Off the top of my head, I am aware of baseball, softball, soccer, basketball, volleyball, and I am sure others I am not thinking of. My kids go to Madison, a particularly sporty school, where many of the teams would be very difficult to make without years of club experience, but there are also several no cut sports. [/quote]
