It turns out I was wrong. I found out today that one of our rookies is on the football team.

(Our lead teacher is a football coach.)

I should point out that our IB kids do play alot of sports (soccer mostly).
The more EC you do the better it looks on your college application.

Originally, Our team consisted completely of students in either band, ROTC, or both. Recently though, we seem to have moved away from that with our team split between sports players, band, and no-other-club-to-describe-them-students.

Our team is a little different. Most of the kids are in a small social group that some may call odd balls. But as it is there is only like ten or so kids on the team. I however am the odd ball of the team and am as may would call an "Aggie".

Our team is mostly the types of kids who have tried sports, tried band, tried orchestra, etc., but really didn't quite feel a true passion for it. Instead, they have a passion for science and engineering. Some are honors kids, some are AP kids, some take mostly CP classes. Our team is made up of kids who never really seemed to "fit in" into the jocks, the preps, the band geeks. etc. during middle school and they come to the high school and meet a group of people who they can sit around and have hour-long discussions on the merits of open source software with.

Of course, that isn't to say that we don't have athletes, musicians, or artists on the team. Sure, we have plenty of them. I'm a musician myself (violin), but no matter what our other interests are, we all share the eagerness to learn all about science, technology, and engineering through building robots.
