Adding Sport that isn't JV/Varsity

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>In the activities section of the common app, there is a list of options a person can select for athletics. The problem is all of these are only for JV or Varsity sports. I have been playing golf for 5 years, and go to the driving range several times a week and to a golf course almost every weekend. I also have a handicap of ~8 which is fairly good. </p>

<p>The problem is I never joined a JV or Varsity golf team since they required a LOT of time and focus, and I needed to dedicate my attention to other activities and academia. Basically, I didn't want to drain my time or stress out due to being part of an extremely competitive and demanding golf team. </p>

<p>Nonetheless, I golf almost all the time and it is a very important EC for me and I want to be able to include it on the common app. I just don't know how to add it if the only options listed for athletics are JV/Varsity. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!</p>

<p>I think the only thing you can do is to post it as an EC and not as a sport. I’d put a comment in about it too.</p>

<p>List as “other”</p>

<p>I agree, list as other because in your case it is hobby, not even a “sport” or “extracurricular”.</p>
