Sports to choose for spring..... good ECs?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I'm a freshman who goes to this crazy school where EVERYONE must be involved in one in-school competetive sport. I'm a freakishly tall girl so people think I'm good at sports, but I really truly suck. So I have to do a spring sport and all. So I'm leaning towards....</p>

<p>women's Soccer
amazing varsity team, but if I don't make varsity I'm stuck with my least favorite teacher for Jv. I took soccer in middle school, I'm pretty bad at it. Crazy amount of commitment, involvement and participation involved. Crazy.</p>

<p>and</p>

<p>women's Golf
Not the best at this sport either, but I can improve over the winter, right? I actually do terrible at putt-putt golf, didn't tell that to anyone yet. Super loose, laid back team that is highly social. I hear it's fun. Less running involved.</p>

<p>However, what would be best application wise? (Okeee, I know society has corrupted me over the years and that I should choose the one I want but...) Is golf considered to be a lazy person's sport? I'm worried that if I switch to that I might look like this evil, preppy person if that's my only sport. (Especially if people convince me to also be a cheerleader and on the dance team) Any advice would be freakishly nice.</p>

<p>You might appear preppy, but I don't think that will sway admissions decisions one way or the other.</p>

<p>If you're as bad at soccer as you say, then your chances of making JV would be too high to risk. It sounds like you would prefer golf, which is a perfectly suitable sport for your applications.</p>

<p>I'd go with golf.</p>

<p>Golf is so much fun! Our golf team is all boys(not requirement, but that's how its always been and the coach isn't really open to new- noninvited- members).</p>

<p>Golf is a sport that will stay with you forever unlike soccer which won't... I vote golf!</p>

<p>You have HS Soccer in spring? I thought spring was Club season--at least in Ohio it is. </p>

<p>Anyway,
What about Track? If you're so tall, why not try High Jump/Long Jump/Pole Vault? It's probably a good medium between the two.</p>

<p>Those sound like good ideas! Thanks for the advice!</p>
