Why Dodgeball Shouldnt Be Banned In School

Youth should not be banned from participating in sports like dodgeball, cheerleading, and football in schools. To begin, dodge ball shouldn’t be banned in school because it teaches kids mental and physical skills. According to Rick Hanthena’s opinion on dodge ball, he says, “He also argues that it teaches hand-eye coordination, concentration and the ability to to think and draw quick conclusions”(pg. 171). This proves that Rick Hanthena wants to keep dodgeball in school because of the lessons it can teach. A reason why cheerleading shouldn’t be banned in schools is because cheerleading coaches are trained and certified. My evidence from Johnson's certification is, “Johnson is an experienced coach with safety training and cheer certifications.
174). This shows that if you have the right certifications and safe teaching tips, you have literally no chance of getting hurt in cheer. A final reason why these sports even football shouldn’t be banned in school is because the more you teach younger kids about football, the less hurt they will become out on the field. My evidence from the text to support my answer is, “Even though most coaches have the right ideas in terms of how to teach players to hit, there are those at youth football who need to be more educated on tackling techniques”(pg 197). This also teaches how if we need to teach kids more about techniques of how to safely play the game, we can. In conclusion, these sports shouldn’t be banned in schools because dodgeball teaches mental and physical skills, in cheer there are coaches who are trained and certified, and in football more teachings about techniques means less
