As of now
Varsity Track
Varsity Cross Country
Younglife (?) Does this count?
Help coach an 8 year old travel baseball team
Umpire Little League Games

I want to try to get a scholership, and i saw that the more and better ECs you have the better chance…
So what other ECs should i do??

<p>Don’t do more EC’s. Get more involved in one or two. What do you really love doing? What are you interested in? Don’t do EC’s just to have EC’s. Find out what you love and then find ways to become really involved.</p>

<p>So if I really like umpiring and coaching that team just really focus a lot on those? I am umpiring at two seperate baseball complexes this summer. THe 8 Yr. old team will be traveling to different citys and such also…
I guess my question is… are these ecs good enough???</p>

<p>Yes, but how could you be even more involved? Does the team have fundraising needs? Do they need someone to be in charge of communications with the parents or to arrange team travel? Maybe the complex needs its benches painted. Are there other teams in the area who could use a helper like you? Does someone need to train them? Is there somewhere you could go for more extensive training?</p>
