[quote=Anonymous]The point of this thread was asking the question What is the value of playing soccer in the context of college admissions for someone NOT interested in playing soccer in college. The above comments about college recruiting for soccer are missing the point. I think there is a value to your kid committing to anything in the pursuit of excellence, with success being a relative thing. For example, a kid that didn’t make his HS team for first 2 years but then through hard work of his own made the team as a junior and earned a starting job as a senior could make a compelling college essay. Or working to come back from an injury to play one final game. Or the team work aspects of being part of a state championship team, working just as hard for 4 years, but only getting to watch the stars from the bench.[/quote]
