@Teahupo I’ve not heard anything about that, although it’d be cool. With the recent addition of Colony Hall and complete renovation going down right now on Hill House I doubt it’ll be soon.
Choate’s athletics rules depend on grade. Freshmen-juniors have to do 2 terms of sweat sports + one other afternoon activity—of course, kids can do 3 terms but in my case I do 1 term of theater and 2 terms of athletics. Far as I know, none of my friends have had any issues integrating with and trying out for sports teams. It really depends on the sport for exclusivity—for example, it’s really hard to make JV squash if you have no experience, but JV baseball is a different story. Some thirds teams cut, like volleyball and basketball, but not all.
