<p>I had to make this decision last year and I chose to become captain of JV tennis instead of joining varsity tennis. But I want some advice/comments for next year. I can definitely make the Varsity team, but I don't have many leadership roles yet. Which of these would a top college value more?</p>
<p>Two years as JV captain devalues the distinction. Challenge yourself and move up.</p>
<p>varsity tennis…</p>
<p>of course varsity. JV is wimpy compared to varsity.</p>
<p>work up to be a varsity captain, or you can just be an unofficial leader amongst your peers. you don’t have to have the label.</p>
<p>if you’re that desperate, find other things to do, not just tennis. hundreds of tennis players out there. find some other passions to go along with tennis.</p>
<p>Aim high. Become captain of varsity. You don’t have to be the best to be team captain. I certainly wasn’t.</p>
<p>Does it matter? Do what you will enjoy most.</p>
<p>^Agreed.</p>
