[quote=Anonymous]My kids played a club sport since age 8; same sport in HS (varsity-all district awards), also an individual varsity sport (for fun). They were also rec coaches for a few seasons. Summer lifeguarding jobs with leadership positions. We are not sure if sports helped them at all in admissions, but they did learn a lot, and their essays dealt a lot with specific instances they experienced while playing/coaching. No, they did not write about getting over an injury, or winning the big game, or coming back from behind! One of my kids is at UVA, and she has been able to make a lot of new friends through club sports connections throughout her k-12 “career” in NOVA. She was recruited by small colleges, but that was not her “journey”![/quote]
