[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD has tried a variety of sports - soccer, basketball, volleyball, hockey and will only last maybe 3 weeks before saying she doesn't like it.  She likes swimming but is only okay at it and not sure she could even properly swim the entire length of the pool; has tried tennis and doesn't dislike it; and re: track, is generally a slow runner.  I just want her to do [b]a[/b] sport - not excel at it.  I think it would be helpful when acclimating to private high school to participate in something.  Any thoughts?  Is it too late?[/quote]

I would be sure to pick a school that has a strong theater program, that's her thing, except if there are stronger academically. I also echo some pp's recommendations for XC. My kids school has no cuts for both girls and boy's teams, some just run varsity vs JV. It's a tight knot group and many of the girls start off not even being able to complete the course to going to cross country regionals! They start off training in the summer, so instant built in friends before school even starts.[/quote]
