How bad would this gap in high school tennis look?

Applying to College

<p>I play for my high school tennis team. I started in 9th grade, was on Junior Varsity. However, during the summer before 10th grade, I suffered an injury and wasn’t able to play that year - so tennis doesn’t show up on my transcript for that year. I’m doing tennis again for the rest of high school as a junior and senior. I will be playing for the Varsity team both years. </p>

<p>How would this gap look in terms of depth of involvement?
I am applying to H, S, M, Columbia, Cornell, so yah…</p>

<p>9th – 11th 12th</p>

<p>:(?!!</p>

<p>I’m sure you could find somewhere on your application to let them know the only reason you didn’t play was because you were injured. Don’t worry too much about it.</p>

<p>Sports show up on transcripts at your school??</p>

<p>Injuries are legit reasons to miss a year. It’s more a problem when kids have a pattern of one-year activities. Make sure the rest of your ECs are in order; sports is just one piece. Now’s a good time to look at that and start to fill any gaps in your activities.</p>
