At my high school, just about every AP student participated in sports. School sports are good because their cost is only around $100 for a season, with generous financial aid for those who cannot pay, vs. local teams which can be thousands. Only upper middle class families can really afford to put their kids into those programs. School sports allow people of all socio-economic status to participate, which brings students on the team together more than it brings them apart.
