Pay to play at private schools. No joke some DC families do this.[/quote]

Why would it be a joke? One reason we are sending our kids to private is because after-school sports are mandatory and several teams are no-cut. I would like my kids to continue being active in HS even if they aren’t super talented.[/quote]

Our private is the opposite. Way more competitive than public.  But they have ma y alum in professional leagues—nba, nfl and always a hood showing in March Madness.  Even really good players get cut.[/quote]

That’s not more competitive than a public school like Whitman where there are several thousand kids [/quote]

Umm. Yes it is.  We are talking 6’7” HS Freshmen, kids going first round draft pick, 7 alum in the Final Four, etc. it’s not possible for your average good athlete on a top travel team to make the HS teams.[/quote]

We are at a giant public HS and the coaches recruit players. So kids are competing with all the kids who are zoned to the school, and lose spots to coach recruits. ITs tough to make these teams.

You know some public school sports powerhouses have this too.  It’s not any different except the school has thousands of kids and even more show up for tryouts.  [/quote][/quote]
