She has expressed interest in trying out for several sports but she has only played on her middle school team in the past. We are getting the impression that it's so competitive that if you haven't been playing club for years you likely don't have a shot at making a team. She is good but has not spent any time at extra training camps or traveling the country playing top teams.

We are looking at houses zoned for Yorktown, Washington-Liberty, Wakefield and Meridian. Are any of those schools more likely to be less competitive? Are there any girls sports where girls can make a team without already being a star player on a club team? Crew maybe? Feeling discouraged.
