[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t forget that colleges love to see kids with great academics who are also able to spend a lot of time outside of school on non-academic activities. Sports fits this category perfectly.

Spending a lot of time on sports while also getting great grades and test scores shows colleges that a kid really has what it takes to be successful. A kid involved with sports will be physically fit and also will be a good teammate with lots of the other qualities discussed in earlier posts. Colleges like kids with sports as an activity for lots of good reasons.

Definitely plan to do it all if possible but if it means raising our test scores or pushing all of our free time to barely make a top team, we know which way to go now. Doing anything at a high level, be it school or sport, seems to takes a lot of time and commitment and we want to be prepared should doing everything well not come naturally for our DDs. Sports will always be a part of their lives, it’s just a question at what level and at what cost. [/quote]

Well, c'mon, being able to play any sport in college requires winning hte genetic lottery as well as a tremendous commitment to the sport. One does not decide that "hey, perhaps I'll play a little soccer if it helps my kid into a college."[/quote]
