Do sports make a big difference in college apps? (I didn't make tryouts)

Play jv or recreational soccer for fun.
Sport is only a help if you can he recruited - and you can be recruited for singing, playing chess, MUN… granted, not as often as if you’re a star singer but I’m guessing you aren’t Kylian Mbappe anyway. Very few are - one in a million.
So, have fun with soccer. Keep playing for yourself. Colleges actually appreciate students who do things for fun. (They like students who do things for their own sake.)
And look for the thing that YOU really really love and are really good at … then push it to the max. Could be calligraphy, geology, the flute, rock climbing, skate boarding, creating a fun app, it doesn’t matter. you have all of freshman year to discover what it is.
