[quote=Anonymous]And in terms of participation overall, the numbers (in my quick back of envelope calculation) are quite good, with over half of girls and boys in the high school participating on some fall athletics team. There are plenty others that do a sport seriously outside of school (gymnastics, horseback riding, sculling, swimming year-round, or are serious dancers) that preclude being on a school team.  Anyway, if the point it to stay healthy, have fun and encourage school spirit, Sidwell does just fine, and quite a few teams and coaches are quite a bit more than just fine (ie both soccer teams, wrestling, track and field and cross country, girls lacrosse). Many kids have gone on to d1 top college sports programs in soccer, track/cross country and wrestling. Football is a problem particularly since kids don't tend to play on out of school teams like they do for soccer and lacrosse or basketball, but I doubt even before the current football problem that anyone came to Sidwell to play football in preparation for college![/quote]
