or many years, athletics have improved junior’s well-beings and their schooling, but some academies have been thinking of getting rid of these programs all together. The two articles mentioned that school should keep or get rid of sports. One is written by Amanda Ripley while the other Tim O’Shei. Both have good arguments yet Tim’s article provides more positive undertones and uses of sports. Therefore physical education should stay in schools because It helps improve children’s grades and health, equal opportunities are given to students that didn’t exercise before, AND athletic careers can open for people who play competitive games early in their lives.…
Another reason the OUSD should continue funding for sports is because it teaches kids teamwork. In the article Benefits and Drawbacks of Youth Sports the author says, “[Children who participates in sports] can also learn about responsibility to a team and how everyone needs to do their part for the team to be successful.” This piece of evidence helps proves that sports teach kids teamwork. It is important for kids to learn teamwork, because it is needed in ordinary life experiences and work situations.…
Some may argue that sports play an important role in teaching life lessons to athletes. Yes, you can learn valuable things through sports, but you can take on even better traits through school and teamwork activities in the classroom without the problems that athletics comes with, like injuries and pressure. School comes before athletics and some athletes think athletics are more important than school, so eliminating sports will help these students learn valuable life lessons through school and activities in the classroom with other students.…
School sports are very beneficial to everyone involved. Students learn about themselves and how to be responsible. Parents can benefit from scholarships and the pure joy they get from watching their child put so much heart in the game. Schools benefit from the money that sports bring in. Every semester holds a different sport. There are so many opportunities for young athletes to show who they really are and reveal their…

Building teamwork, promoting exercise, and learning how to multitask are reasons why I believe that requiring participation in organized school sports should be required.…
Sports increase the self- confidence and leadership skills. Also hiring managers look for leadership skills in people, which is why people that played in sports get further, faster, than the people that didn’t play sports, in the “long run”. Scientists also found that people that played sports donate more than those who didn’t. Don’t forget about the families that wouldn’t be able to pay for the sports outside of school. If schools ban sports, then some kids would not be able to experience the fun of playing sports. Sports are also good for exercise and good for staying…
Sports are an incentive for students. You have to have good grades to play; so, if you are on the team you have something to motivate you to keep up your grades. Not only grades, but your attitude. If you have a bad attitude in class, your teacher could tell your coach, and you could be done for a game or two. That is a good rule for me, because it makes me control myself. I love being an athlete, because I’ve learned that there is so much you have to learn to be a real athlete.…
In conclusion, P.E. should not be eliminated to focus on academics. Physical activity and exercise us important, and if kids don’t know that, then how are they supposed to keep healthy? Also, by not exposing them to the world of sports, you may be barring a student from discovering what they really want to do in life. Now think about it. Should the student body be doomed forever? The choice is…
Activities and sports in schools is a great way for students to be involved, and to be active. I have done research and there hasn’t been one article I found on why sports shouldn’t be in schools. Having athletic programs and activities in schools are very helpful for students health, it develops team work, helps develop discipline and also perfection. School administrators, and parents, generally support high school activity programs because of the positive effect these activities appear to have on students of both genders. (Braddock P.1)…
Sports are a good way to funding for schools while the budget now days are low. This helps people with their fitness by not engaging in risky activities or behaviors because it could interfere with the sport one plays. For example, drugs and personal effects that make one drop from school. Athletic sports helps people with their teamwork and cooperation. It helps with this because they’re all working towards a common goal, which could help them in their future career. Lastly. This could help them with their mindset to success. Sports could help them with their time management skills, finding new ways to improve, strong focus, handling pressure, and taking responsibilities.…
School sports were never considered necessary to have in school, but that does not mean they were unnecessary. If a child is more involved in in-school sports the person is more driven towards academic success. Though school sports may be considered to some not necessary, in the long run the student does receive benefits out of it. School sports should be more accepted throughout schools because of the impact it has on student studies and character, even though, there is much criticism saying that it is disadvantageous and useless for…
“The good parent must be equipped and willing to intact responsibilities for their child through their engagement with the market” (Penney, 2008). It’s important as teachers we educate parents about the benefits of PE and Sport and that as much as class may be an issue today, it doesn’t have to be.…
They wouldn’t experience improved brain power, a way to manage stress, or to continue/start to make good healthy choices later in life. In school it’s good to get your brain refreshed, and that’s what PE offers. Students stimulate their brain and increase their brainpower for the next class. School is a stressful environment when one has so many things to worry about. The students with PE are lucky because they get a chance, during school, to relieve some stress and focus better in the day. All together the class ensures that if students continue to exercise, they’ll have less worries. You should make it your priority that PE stays as a requirement in high school. Get out there and spread the…
