How to list Common App activities for 12th grade if applying before school starts

How should my DS list common app activities if he is applying EA or if the activity has not started yet when he applies? Should he list as participating in 12th grade if he is intending to do so (sport, clubs, orchestra)? Several schools he is applying in August before HS starts. So do you only list activities actually participated in when you submit the application or do you list the ones you intend to continue with during your senior year? For example lacrosse is a spring sport and he intends to play again….list that or not as participating in 12th grade?

Include the activities he intends to do in senior year (and an estimate of the hours/per week).
