Many MCPS high schools have club crew teams - Whitman, WJ, BCC, Blair - it is the only way for a high school to have a crew team. There are other club sports set up the same way at MCPS high schools - ice hockey and volleyball, for example. My understanding is that while these clubs get no funding from MCPS and have parent boards, they are still school “clubs” in the same way that robotics, debate, etc are and are only open to students at the specific high school. Versus private soccer and lacrosse clubs, for example. [/quote]

True they are all club sports. However, Whitman HS treated rowing more like a varsity sport than a club when it came to facilities. Where the other schools mentioned have no access to school facilities and had to rent workout space, Whitman HS allowed their kids to train during the winter on campus. [/quote]

BCC’s winter workouts have been at their feeder mcps middle school, Westland, for the past 2 years. Wilson does some winter workouts at Wilson. Again, so much misinformation on this thread. [/quote]

Without realizing it, you proved their point that Whitman got special treatment beyond what other MCPS clubs get. B-CC having to rent (pay) for space in another school is hardly the same as being able to workout at Whitman for free. Wilson is a school sponsored and regulated sport in DCPS so it's hardly a surprise they can use the school facilities. Whitman received special status among clubs, which is what MCPS what trying to separate itself from after the WJ trainer incident a few years ago. [/quote]

Crew at Wilson does not receive support from DCPS. It is considered a club sport. [/quote]
