[quote=Anonymous]A few things to consider. HS sports are a heavy time comittment--normally 2 hours after school 5 days a week. That is a ton for someone not that sporty. With that said, schools have summer pre-season practice where she could go try and if she hated it, switch to a fitness class in the fall. Some schools also have lesser competitive seasons of a competitive sport (ie Holton has competitive fall tennis and way less competitive/fewer hours club spring tennis; I believe they also have this for crew).  Also, depending on the school, some sports allow for a wider range of abilities. Cross country does (although they're still running 5-6 days a week), golf at a school with no-cuts for golf is self paced.  Also, she might be better off making friends in a yoga or dance class with others who aren't as sporty.

Your daughter is not wrong that sports are one of the easiest ways to make friends when new at a private high school, but if she's not that into it and others are, this may not pan out anyway.[/quote]
