<p>Just wondering. how important is it to be a captain of a sports team. I participate in two varsity sports at my school but the coaches won't decide the captains until well into my senior yr and i want to send my app in early. also i don't know if i would even get chosen because there will a large number of seniors in the sports next year.</p>
<p>It is important to demonstrate leadership.
There are many ways one can do this aside from the obvious.</p>
<p>let the academy know about it in the "comments" section.</p>
<p>It's a great thing to have but by no means required.</p>
<p>I barely even played a Varsity sport.</p>
<p>I don't think not being a team captain would hurt your chances unless you don't have any other leadership roles.</p>
<p>what do you mean you barely played a varsity sport? just one season?</p>
