Too late for athletics?

<p>Ok, so I'm a junior in high school and I've never done any athletics, which shouldn't be a problem for colleges, but I'm thinking of doing Tennis next year or whenever I can. Should I even bother? Will I be too late?</p>

<p>Are you planning to play tennis for exercise, or to boost your application? If it is for fun, it is never too late. If this is for college admissions, your time is better spent on something else.</p>

<p>I agree with the previous poster. My son swam for the 1st time competitively his senior year to stay in shape and really enjoyed it. I originally discouraged him (I wanted him to get a job) but I’m glad he did it. I wished he started earlier because he could have been very competitive in high school. It never made it’s way on to his college applications. I’m not sure if it is worth updating the one college that wait listed him…</p>
