[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools are too big around here that is a big part of it.

They should offer more sports that are games that allow everyone to be able to join some kind of team.  Frisbee is a good option, but there should be intramural teams for rugby, soccer, basketball etc. this would be possible if schools weren’t so overcrowded. Rec is nice and all, but lots of programs just don’t have high school programs — our soccer team dissolved at 8th essentially.

Track and cross country aren’t anywhere near as fun or have any sense of teamwork — it’s sad that’s the only choice. [/quote]

Schools are big everywhere in America. Most high schools in any suburban parts of America will have 2000-3000 students. Most high schools in Texas have 4000 students [/quote]
Agree. We moved from NoVa a few years ago, to Mechanicsburg PA - by Harrisburg. The high school has over 3000 students. This isn’t a large city by any stretch.[/quote]

I’m serious, come to Loudoun! Schools are much smaller. Just don’t pick one of the 3-4 richest ones because they have a much higher percentage of gunner parents with travel sports kids. I can’t think of a single sport at our HS that you couldn’t play on a freshman/JV team with minimal experience. [/quote]
