Putting down a Rec Sport outside of school on apps?

<p>I attend an extremly high ranked high school in terms of sports. Football/Soccer/Lacrosse/Tennis/Fencing/etc. Teams at my High School are ranked in the state. What I want to ask is, if I can put down that I played Tennis for a couple years during High School, outside of school at a tennis clinic. Since, besides that, I have no sports. I tried out for the team, but did not make it.</p>

<p>I don't want to have to say I didn't play any sports on my college app, and it would defiantely go against me being "well rounded." The extra cirriculars I do in my school are all very academic (math team, science league, debate) and I was wondering how I should say that I played tennis during high school, since I didn't play for the high school team. Should I even put down that I played tennis outside of school for a few years during high school on the application?</p>

<p>Umm...I put down "club swim team" on my app...mention it in passing, but dwell on it as little as possible. If your academic ECs are great, though, you may want to skip it altogether.</p>
