[quote=Anonymous]Luckily my kids hated their HS coach, despised him. They did their sport in HS freshmen and sophomore year and they left for year-round club junior and senior year—like most of the kids at a higher level. Even though club was year-round and travel, practices 4 nights a week, weekend games, it was such less time consuming than the HS team. It also had a much more stable schedule. Getting home at 3pm- then practice 8-9:30pm. Lots of time for HW right after school. Games- out of town - they did it in the car. They both were straight A/35ACT; 10 APs (most their school does) and still had the stats to apply anywhere. They also socialized, did community service and had summer jobs. A lot will depend on your HS. At our private the sports take up all the free time and weeknight games far away are killer. My kids also did another HS sport with a short season and a lot more flexibility with a coach that was academics first too. [/quote]
