<p>i am an international. could somebody tell me what a varsity sport is? and what is a recruited athlete?
thanks</p>
<p>In the US there are two (or three) levels of sports competition. Freshman (sometimes), Junior Varsity which is primarily for younger, less skilled competitors, and Varsity which are experienced or skilled athletes. Example sports are football, soccer, tennis, etc. A particularly good athlete will be recruited to play the same sport in college (with some level of scholarship paying for the education).</p>
