[quote=Anonymous]My DS played his sport all 4 years at a SLAC. The kids that quit typically were due to injuries, sitting on the bench, and study abroad conflicts. My DH was was an athlete for a few years in college and had the following viewpoint. It gives the student an immediate "group" being a part of the team. This group would be different kids and ages than the freshman dorm. Practices, as well a games/meets, gives the student a schedule and routine to their day/week/semester. Sports gave my student a leadership role since he was Captain of his team for a few years. He later became an RA in his senior year. When he left my home as an 18 years old, I would not have pegged him as a leader type. Maturity shows up in many ways. Sports in college can be more than kicking a ball around. As with most things in life, it's all what you put into it. [/quote]
