[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plenty of kids do activities that aren't school sponsored (music, martial arts, Eagle Scouts etc.)  As other PPs have mentioned, [b]if he can show he's good at it[/b], that will help on his college application.[/quote]

Is being good critical or consistent/committed participation good enough?  I understand the "being good" part if the college has that sport and would like the kid to play on the team.  [/quote]

If it’s not going to benefit the college (like sports) they don’t care how good you are. It’s about showing dedicating and sticking with something. [/quote]

If it’s not a sport at the school, it’s not that they don’t care. But to really shine on an application, your kid would have to be national level good. State tournaments placer, National level would single him out. International level would be the kicker.

If he does it for fun, but no competitive history to show for it, not sure it’s distinctive. It’s just another EC.[/quote]
