[quote=Anonymous]Every kid is different. DC stopped playing club sport after 9th grade, continued the sport just in school. It was the best decision— freed up time and wound up finding a new EC that tied into major and helped with college apps, but more importantly was a great learning experience and at least so far has shaped major and future career plans. There is no way they could have done this time consuming activity if they were driving all over the place for the club sport as well. I know so many kids who put an insane amount of time into club sports but ultimately were not recruited, had limited other ECs, and I do think it impacted their apps. If the kid absolutely loves the sport and/or the club team is a great social scene, then it may be worth it. But at least our club experience was that it was competitive, stressful, and not particularly social in addition to expensive and time-consuming. YMMV. [/quote]
