[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD might want to do Fall sport to make friends and connections.  Assuming fall sports happen.  Do you have any thoughts on the social dynamic, competitiveness, time commitment etc of cross country and field hockey?[/quote]

OP here:

Fall sports are an amazing way for incoming freshmen to make friends before the year begins. Since practices are daily after school and there's long practice camp days in August, students tend to get really close with their teammates. Cross country is generally a very successful and large sport at TJ. I think that there are time cutoffs for tryouts, but I've heard they're not super difficult? The cross country kids also have really fun spirit days and camaraderie in the community.

The field hockey team is seen as a really welcoming group that accepts everyone willing, even those with no experience. I have many friends that play field hockey that began in high school and they all really love it. The social aspect of field hockey is also strong. There's a JV and V team.

I am not sure about the time commitments for either of these sports, but if you text my number -- 571-466-7181 (again, hopefully that's okay to post on this forum...) we can exchange details and I can link you up with upperclassmen that do these sports and are totally willing to answer any questions you or your daughter might have about entering fall sports in the fall. I'm sorry that I can't be more helpful :([/quote]
