[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in this area and it was not like this 25 years ago. I walked on the track team as a freshman. I was a cheerleader for a few seasons. I played basketball one winter, softball one spring. I never stuck with anything but it was fun trying so many different activities. I wish my children could have the same experience. It's a huge negative to living in this area and it has made me want to move more than a few times. [/quote]

Define "this area."  It's more of an issue in certain pyramids than others - especially Langley, where the parents can pay for anything and everything, and Madison, where parents are heavily into sports.

In other pyramids like Annandale, Falls Church, Justice, Lewis, and Mount Vernon, it's still easier for kids to try different activities or make teams without loads of travel team experience.  [/quote]

I think track is the one sport that everyone can try and walk on the team.

If you are really good at one sport, it may be easier for you to switch and walk on another sport. My son played soccer for many years. He was really good but didn’t love it. Now he plays tennis and basketball. He is pretty good at his new sports even though these sports are newer to him. He is just an athletic kid. [/quote]
