Club sports are great for a sporty kid because the team isn’t already full of recruited athletes. Many kids find a new (to them) sport that they fall in love with, that either wasn’t an option due to availability or because they had to devote too much time to their high school sport(s). S23 wa recruited in 2 sports and decided he did not want to spend the time away from academics to play in college. He ended up joining the nordic ski team (club) this year. He never strapped on a pair of XC skis until a year prior, but his GF is the captain and he really likes the people on the team. His times qualify him for the races, but he only has to compete if/when he wants to.
