<p>So I've been on JV tennis freshman and sophomore year, but last year (soph) I really hated it because I would get home around 8 o'clock after away matches, and have no time for homework, and the tennis wasn't enjoyable either because I didn't have many friends on the team and all the JV teams we played were pretty bad. </p>
<p>The problem is, I don't have a lot of time to play tennis outside of school before the spring season, because I'm doing so much academic stuff. That means that I definitely won't make varsity in the spring, and I don't want to endure another miserable year of JV. Would it look really bad to colleges if I switched sports this year (I'm thinking of joining track in the spring, since I recently started running), or would they not give a crap because it's all JV anyways?</p>
<p>I would guess that they really wouldn’t care because its JV. It’s not like you are switching from being the star player of a team to being a nobody on another team. Hell, I switched from golf to cross country my senior year because I wanted to improve my track times. I was okay on the golf team, and I am in the same place (rank-wise) on the cross country team. It looks pretty much the same, but XC helps prepare me for the rest of the year. </p>
<p>Also, if tennis isn’t your main focus anyway, it shouldn’t impact colleges that much . If you are focused on academics, then that would shine. Just play whatever sport makes you happy/less stressed. That’s what I did, and I don’t regret it. Besides, you can look dynamic if you do well at outdoor track.</p>
<p>Ahh thanks! Yeah, it doesn’t make sense to be stressed about sports, since they’re definitely not going to be a big factor in me getting into college…now I just need to convince my Asian tiger parents…</p>
