[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that it's very hard.  Mine is involved in a sport that is also year round and very time-intensive.  We found that adding the HS version of the sport was really challenging b/c it left so little time outside of school hours to get anything done.  I'm not sure it was worth it.

We know a family friend going to a service academy and that student did [b]JROTC at school[/b].  That took away time from their sport on occasion, but was a huge help getting into the service academy.  Maybe look at that instead.[/quote]
I will second the suggestion to look into JROTC (CAP or Sea Cadets as outside alternatives) for both service/leadership and "military" style ECs. It's my understanding Service Academies also look very favorably on Varsity sport participation so if your DC can keep it up, that is in their favor.

Good luck! (And remember, once they can start to drive themselves to activities -- it's a game changer!) Swim parents have my mega-respect for their likewise early morning dedication.[/quote]

OP here. I am SO excited for the drivers license! Not a morning person.

He's been wanting to look into CAP (not JROTC here), so we'll see if we can fit that in.[/quote]
