[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: This is an activity for which teens typically go away at 17 at the latest. 14/15 is young but not unheard of. Child will definitely do this activity professionally. School will definitely be online. There is not academic program.

Sounds like hockey. If so, I know of several people who let theirs go away at 15 and 16 to train. They had no issues or complaints. Two went to Ivy League schools and then the NHL draft. Another skipped further schooling and went straight to the pros. [/quote]

I think it is ballet.

OP said the kid would definitely go pro.  Ballet is the only sport I can think of that has a professional option where a 17 it is a common result for a teen to enter the program and end up professional by the late teens.

It might happen very occassionally in a sport like hockey, but that kid is a real star and there is no definite or probable pro path that young.

Basketball players go pro very young too, but they stay at their local school and don't get sent away to train.[/quote]

You  can't go pro in basketball until you've done an year in college.

I'm thinking hockey or dance. 17 is too late for gymnastics.
