[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in a similar situation but my kids are a little older rising 9/10 grades. They get all A’s and also play 2 sports. They are not elite athletes and do not really want to play in college, but they enjoy the competition and comradery of playing. I wonder what the benefits of playing multiple HS sports are to getting into college? It’s certainly a large commitment in time and energy and they are well rounded athletes and excellent students. Would they be better served doing non-athletic extra curriculars? My hope is that showing dedication and commitment to something you feel passionate about, in this case sports, will come through to college admissions.[/quote]

I think that’s the real question. Do college admissions know the time commitment needed to play Travel sports? If it is only viewed as any other extracurricular activity, maybe it makes sense to focus on other activities that aren’t as time consuming while still playing Travel at a less committed level and spending more time on the academics?[/quote]
