Higher fees to play sports leaves kids on sidelines

A noisier hallway outside Sam Reed's office might have made the freshman inside more comfortable. Instead, he found himself standing before the athletic director at Chief Sealth High School, answering a series of questions about his family's income while a line of other students listened.

Welcome to the winter sports season at your local public high school.

Athletic abilities were the least of Reed's concerns as he sorted through the pile of student paperwork, determining who had enough money to play for Chief Sealth High in West Seattle, and who would have to cobble together other means of paying for their time on the field. By the time senior Chris Rojo arrived, the file of would-be athletes seeking financial assistance was already an inch thick.

Last fall, Rojo, 18, had been picking pears in Yakima, a dropout doing his best to forget high school altogether. But the notion of redeeming his lackluster academic career continued to nag him, and Rojo thought the grade-point requirements of joining a wrestling team might keep him focused long enough to rebuild his life.
