My DS is a freshmen at a private high school playing JV baseball. Baseball is his game and he hopes to play varsity baseball during his HS career. He has one Varsity letter in baseball from last year when he played for his former school's, a public high school's JV and varsity baseball team and he won a varsity letter when he was an 8th grader. That team won the state championship.
Would this Varsity letter as an 8th grader count for USNA or service academy application? Of course his goal is to gain another one hopefully sophomore, junior and senior year of high school.
Does playing just one sport such as only baseball make him less competitive then a candidate that has multiple varsity letters in 2 or more sports?
I was trying to encourage him to try swimming or soccer as a second sport but between baseball practice most of the year and academics he feels he is too busy.
Thanks
