<p>Do I need sports for a good college? (I am a guy…) I started tennis a while ago but my instructor had to leave. I have loads of volunteering and academic extracurriculars. I do not play any instruments either… I am going to be a junior next year.</p>
<p>No, sports is not a requirement. Just pursue your passions and reach for excellence in them.</p>
<p>I promise, colleges are going to be far more interested in your academic EC’s than sports. If you enjoy sports that’s awesome, it’s part of who you are, and they want to know. If it’s not, don’t go out of your way to fit a mold that’s not you. Look at those academic EC’s and see which one really interests you. Is there one you really excel at? Colleges want to see you involved in a few things you really care about and have been heavily involved in.</p>
