Wow, I was unaware that there were seasons and competitions going on for most prep schools. We seem to have selected schools that haven’t done that. From what I understand, the ones we picked are mostly practicing with their teams or doing internal scrimmages…when they are on campus of course. I hadn’t pictured boarders leaving campus at schools that are back, is that possible at some schools?
I am trying to wrap my head around regional/state restrictions, league restrictions and school restrictions for the sports at different schools, but right now it’s probably all pretty moot until we find out if she gets in. These comments are helpful, though!
As a point of comparison, we are in CA, which is pretty strict, and my older one’s independent day HS also is on a hybrid schedule with in person learning 2-3x a week, and only certain kids on campus certain days (F+Soph are M+W, J+Sen are T+Th, Fri is for studio classes). There are restrictions on club sports - you can do one - and the state HS athletics governing body has said you can’t do the now-opening school sports if you are doing club, so I think the serious club folks probably won’t play in the super-abbreviated HS sports school seasons all starting and running in tight sequence starting now. Not really sure about that part. It is also an expensive school ($55K day tuition), but we did get refunds for the trips she didn’t take. But we have felt glad she is in session at all; the public schools here have still not opened since March 2020 for any in person learning whatsoever.
