The only thing with sports is that if you ever drop a class or don’t do your best on an assignment because of sports(or any EC really) than I don’t think its worth it. You are in school to LEARN- and this doesn’t include learning how to play a sport. To some extent personal enrichment is worthwhile, but if it starts to impede on other things, than you need to step back and reconsider your choices.

Back to the question though-
I definitely don’t think that sports are needed(although nice). I played softball/fieldhocky for two/three years and against all of my parents opinons, I quit both and got back into academics and other ECs which I found more value in. Everyone has sports- how many play instruments exceptionally? how many are extremely involved in politics? how many hold unique jobs/internships? There are so many other, more valueable things to do with your time… but, by all means if you like sports than play them- but for me, I think there are more important things in life.
