In my opinion, Allstar Cheerleading is indeed a sport. My reasoning behind my opinion is that Allstar cheerleading takes just as much, or more physical activity, requires skills necessary to compete a routine, and involves events comparable to games for football, baseball, etc.…
Sports keep teens well behaved at school and in class. Sports reduce the number of fights, and bad classroom behavior. In order to play any sport in high school, the students must make good grades. If they fail to make the grades, then they are either dismissed from the team, or they must take a study hall before each practice for at least 30 minutes, sometimes even for the whole day until his or her grade comes up to a passing grade. In most high schools, there are problems with attendance from the students. If a player does not come to school, then they may not go to practice or attend the game that…
Although many people would say or agree that cheerleading isn’t a sport because all you do is be on the sideline or you're just supporting and not competing for anything, cheerleading actually comes with a lot. A lot as in hard work, having to pay fees plus the games and activities you are expected to attend just like any other sport.…
There is a constant problem of cheating in sports nowadays, and it continues to get worse…
The animals are ready to burst out of their cages and breathe the fresh air of middle school grounds. Students frantically begin to hush their peers in order to be the first let out. In the jungle, there are always two or three monkeys that decide to create chaos. Among the others, mumbling could be heard about the upcoming games about to take place. Many already started to decide what teams and students would be taking over the field. In Wilson Southern Middle School, those monkeys at recess decided to play a rule-breaking game of shark and minnows. Along with this game, they played a back breaking lunch bag tag, and an awkward imaginary game. Recess does not only contain games, but it has a huge impact on the body and its health.…
We get what life hands us and sometimes it is good, but sometimes it is bad. A great activity offered by schools is softball and I am very thankful for that. First, softball makes a big difference in health. Second, we can get a good scholarship by playing softball and if we are a good enough player. Last, if we play softball, we are able to get physical with the other players. As can be seen, it is a good thing schools give us the opportunity to have all these great activities. First of all, softball really improves our health a lot. When we go up to swing the bat and we swing really hard, it works our arm muscles and makes us stronger. All we do in softball is run laps. We hit the ball we get to run the bases or if the ball is hit by another player we have to run to it to catch the ball, sometimes we do not get to catch it. If we practice we have to run the fence three times before practice is over which is not fun. When I play softball I am not allowed to have pop, the only things I am aloud to drink is water or Gatorade. I am fine with drinking either of those because they are both good and healthy. After all, this is why…
90 minutes to make or break your season. The grass under your cleats when arriving at the pitch. Wind blowing through jerseys while sprinting to get the ball. The silky feel of your school colors on your sweaty skin. The thrill achieved by that one perfect kick straight into the feet of the waiting teammate right next to the goalie's box. The skill and precision that goes into one sport that the world goes crazy for. Imagine dribbling across the length of the pitch and passing the ball, waiting for that pass back to complete the two-touch the team has been practicing endlessly. The ball is coming straight at you at break-neck speed. It’s too high to stop with your feet, what do you do? You breathe, take a look at your coach who is chewing ferociously…
“People spend long hours practicing, and that commitment extends to the rest of the school, which means that students are practicing for the game instead of doing their school work” (Ripley 10). When one school banned sports for good, they had a 30% increase in the school’s average grade level. Student’s grades are suffering from sports, schools should no longer have after school athletics. It is clear that all after school sports should no longer be so that all students can learn with their full attention on school…
Cheerleading is popular worldwide and its more then just standing on the sidelines cheering on your high school team. Cheerleading is a sport and it’s a very challenging one. There is two different types of cheerleading and they often get mistaken as the same thing…
Nearly 65% of children say they participate in sports to be with their friends (Statistic Brain). Sports were established so that the individual could not only exercise, but also to compete against a rival. Just as there are individual sports, there are team sports in high school. The idea of a team sport is that every single person on the field or court must work in unison to have the greatest opportunity to win. In addition to the increasing popularity of sports, the average child’s age when they join a team is decreasing. For example, the age that a child joins a basketball team has shifted from fourth grade to first grade or even kindergarten in the past decade. School is the primary factor when you review the participation in athletics,…
There is always conversation about how cheerleading isn’t a sport or shouldn’t be considered one. Cheerleading is the fastest growing girls sport, yet more than half of Americans do not believe it is a sport. In addition, they fail to distinguish between sideline cheerleaders and competitive ones. A real cheerleader doesn’t stand on the side; they are performing, working hard to be the best of the best. You have to be physically and mentally prepared to take on competitive cheer. Cheerleading should be a sport because it requires physical activity, strength, endurance and discipline.…

Many people have argued that, “Should we ban high school football?” One of the main reason’s why we should outlaw the sport is due to head injuries, or injuries in general. Now granted, we cannot protect kids 24/7. Injuries in sports are just common things that occur. We can only do our best to prevent children from hurting themselves.…

Colleges should strongly support their teams. These teams not only generate millions of dollars or schools, but they also help sell prospective students on attending the college. Colleges support into their athletic programs is an investment on students, advertisements & revenue, and alumni.…
