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.…
Most say if schools cut sports the students grades will improve. However, kids in sports have to pass to play. That is motivation for some kids, if schools take sports out some kids may have no motivation to try and will flunk. Also, the coaches stress student-athletes and make sure the players are passing.…
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…
There is a constant problem of cheating in sports nowadays, and it continues to get worse…
“Research shows that people who play high school sports get better jobs, with better pay. Benefits that last a lifetime.” Some high schoolers that play sports may even go further with their education. Just by playing sports. Scholarships can even be given to students who are exceptionally good at the sport they play. Which would help…
John Wooden (NCAAB Hall of Fame coach) said, “Sports do not build character. They reveal it.” High school sports are usually beneficial to all parties involved, such as the athletes, parents and the schools that have the athletic programs. The athletes that play high school sports learn countless lessons on life, how to be healthy with exercise, and the extra incentive to keep up the grade to play these sports. Parents of high school athlete’s get an opportunity to watch their child succeed at something he or she loves. Parents can also benefit financially, when their child is good enough at a sport to get offered a scholarship which may pay for all of college. For a high school that has athletic programs the biggest pro is the amount of money to be made from things such as admissions, concessions stand sells, t-shirts…
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…
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,…
Lots of people think that competitive sports aren’t good for kids but other people think that competitive sports are good for kids. I take the position that competitive sports are good for kids because it helps kids build self esteem, second it teaches them how to work with a group, and the third and most important reason is that it helps them live a healthy lifestyle.…
One reason high school sports aren’t beneficial is because they create a lot of pressure. According to the video “Do Athletes Face Unnecessary Parent Pressure?” by KCRA, sports are sometimes the only way students can get into a good college and be able afford it. This puts a lot of pressure on the athletes to perform at their best 100% of the time. Experts say that your child's entire team will suffer if the parents are pressuring their kids (KCRA.com, “Do Athletes Face Unnecessary Parent Pressure?” ). This fact is important because it proves, when parents put pressure on their children it does not benefit them, in fact it is actually setting them up for life in an unhealthy way. This shows that the pressure from sports is not good and not worth it.…

Growing up as a kid it is easy to say that it is almost every little boys dream to one day become a professional baseball player. They wake up and go out to play in there practices and games trying to be like one of the greats. Ad kids get older there are some that fade away from the dream and some that still live by the dream and try there hardest to get to that ultimate goal. When you get to high school there will not be that many kids playing baseball and school is very tough. there are athletes that are also very smart and do well in class and others that just aren't as good in the classroom. the ones that do good in the classroom even though they may not be better at a sport get to play anywhere they want in a nation and there are many good players that are left to play junior college baseball. junior college has always been a stepping stone to get to a big university and if you are an athlete one step closer to the ultimate goal. If the state of California takes away sports and…
Most kids have memories of playing sports at a young age but don't play them today. Playing sports during high school can actually be a huge struggle for teens, especially depending on how many sports they play. I've played a variety of sports sense I was 3 years old and I haven't let go of any of them sense then. As an athlete I've really learned how to overcome several different struggles to partake in something I love while still excelling in my education. For three years now I have been a three sport high school athlete, and keep in mind I've only been a high school student for two years now.…
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)…
A nice boy named Evan was finished with his sport seasons at MTMS and was devastated. Evan was the perfect kid good grades, healthy,and very confident. But once sports started to end Evan lost it, he started to drift off and get bad grades and went back to back to being unhealthy along with doing nothing but watching TV. Now do you want that for your students? My names is Sophie Hannam, and I represent all the the students at Monticello Trails who want longer sports seasons. With the evidence stored below and your help, I anticipate that we can find a way to add longer sports seasons at Monticello Trails.…
