I'm asking because I tried to search it up but I didn't see anything that answered my question. Thanks in advance.
If you look up the definition of “varsity sport,” it specifies the main teams of a high school, college or university. The YMCA, while a fine organization, is none of these. I don’t think you would introduce yourself as a varsity athlete to anyone who played on your high school’s competitive varsity team, right? I think you already know the answer to this, as you asked if it would “count as.”I'm asking because I tried to search it up but I didn't see anything that answered my question. Thanks in advance.

There is value in participating in a sport - the discipline, the fitness aspect, the leadership opportunities. There are plenty of people at SAs who were not on a varsity team, but participated in traveling teams, county rec leagues, individual martial arts, ice skating, marathons, etc. They ensured their leadership skills were showcased in other areas; they worked hard to get a good CFA score.
