[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't say it doesn't matter at all. It's seen as a worthwhile commitment like any club. Your student can show leadership, like being named/voted captain, volunteering as a youth coach or referee, etc.[/quote] Right. it's not necessarily more important that other activities on its own, but it can be used to demonstate character traits. Also, this isn't just for HS sports, but some kids have been involved for many years which shows commitment. My DC was in a sport for a decade and made it to nationals. They spent 20 hours a week on the sport for years, while also maintaining top grades and taking the same AP classes everyone applying to the same schools were taking. It wasn't an automatic admission activity, but it was a critical part of a larger picture.[/quote]
