[quote=Anonymous]You said he's a junior -- did he move up from JV to V this year, and does that account for the lack of playing time?  Is this the kind of sport where they need more kids for practice, so they can have two teams playing each other, than can fully participate in the games -- such that he is an essential part of the team, even if he doesn't get playing time in the games, and quitting will actually hurt the team?

The only way it would hurt on college apps is if he decides to include this Fall's inclusion on the team and then is deceptive about it -- ie says he was on the team this Fall even though he quit part way through.  If he leaves it off entirely, the only issue would be whether that leaves him without any significant ECs this year.

But if it's a small school or one where the coach is a teacher, and quitting could get back to the counselors or other teachers who might write his LORs next year, it could be an issue -- assuming it's the kind of thing where the coach will be mad, which of course depends on the circumstances[/quote]
