Co-Ed Sports Teams In Schools

Improved Essays
Co-Ed sports teams consist of athletes of both genders. These types of teams are typically only available for the younger kids, but what if it was an option for the older players too? Having the option to play co-Ed sports could be a massive push in the right direction for both the children involved, and the reputation of the school promoting it. The school would likely be the only one in town offering the student athletes a fun and healthy way to learn to work with others, relieve themselves from stress, and learn to have mutual respect for others no matter your differences. Co-Ed sports teams could be a great way to learn to work with others, help them make friends, and a healthy relief from school stress for everyone.
Students learn to work with each other in class and when participating in group projects. However not everyone is as enthusiastic about these projects or knows the material as well some other students. This often results in some

About 15 million people in America (around seven percent of Americans) report having some form of social anxiety. The majority of them also report having developed these issues close to or when they were thirteen years old (Reinberg). Missing a day of school can sometimes be more stressful than it seems. You end up relying on your friends to get you notes and all of the information that you couldn't get yourself. But you might not have a way to reach someone in the same class as you or maybe you are having issues with your friends and don't want to talk to them. Don't worry, you can always just ask someone at practice or text a teammate now. Even if you don't get along with one person on your team there are still multiple other players. Once finding out that you share common interests with someone you most likely will begin to talk to each other, which could possibly lead to a new

    The first concept we tied into it is segregation in sports by social class. There are some tendencies concerning sports participation by the children in low-income households. First one is they are more likely to engage in physical contact sports like boxing and wrestling, and second one is they engage in sports that require little equipment and financial demand. Given that Manny grew up in poverty that caused his father to eat his dog, those two tendencies make it clear that Manny couldn’t do nothing but choosing boxing rather than playing golf or tennis that he was not able to financially afford. The second and third concepts are social mobility and sports as a mobility escalator.…

    When employers find out that you played on a co-ed team, it will make you more compatible. No matter the situation, you will be able to overcome it because you have experience that made you interact with your opposite gender. Co-ed teams can provide a more social benefit rather than a same sex team. Some people will say it creates unfair competition, and that boys shouldn't be taking the girls spot on the roster. Although I don't think it would be fair for a male that has been playing soccer all his life, not to be able to tryout against a female that just started.…

    Everyone knows how bad it is when you are in a group project, and someone in the group takes over the whole thing and won’t let anyone else make suggestions. Someone like this can make the the project miserable for the rest of the group and it puts more work on themselves because they don’t think that anyone else is capable of doing the work, so that person has to do the work themselves. You also want someone who is passing all classes. This way if we do projects in NJHS, the student won't feel overwhelmed with NJHS and trying to get their grades up in school.…

    In high school, we were constantly being told that we could not work in groups because we would get too loud. In university group work was encouraged so that our professors wouldn't have to do as much marking. During my observations at my CSL there was a lot of group work. Comparing when the students were working on group work to their individual work, the results were polar opposites. The tasks for students was to write down what they knew about 5 sided figures.…

    Synthesis High school and college sports undoubtedly enrich a student’s life during their formative adolescent years. From creating irreplaceable relationships with teammates, to forming unforgettable memories, to perhaps winning a championship or two, it seems that the number of positive results that accompany the participation in athletics is infinite. However, there is a much more subtle, yet much more significant effect of being on a team. Playing sports as a young adult undeniably improves the likelihood of being successful in all aspects of life, both during the student’s career as an athlete and in his or her future endeavors. It is likely that the beneficial traits that are gained or refined through a commitment to a high school or…

    At UC Davis, I am an University Honors Program student so I take smaller sized honors level classes with other honors students. While in class, I noticed that most honors students are very involved in class projects and have their own approach to projects. I was put into a random group for a project that accounted for a majority of the grade. In my group, every member had their own ideas and opinions on the way the project should be completed which is great because every member was very involved in the assignment. However this caused problems among the group as the members couldn’t agree on a decision to be made about the project.…

    Segregation In Sports

    Throughout history there has been numerous accounts of cultures being oppressed by another. There is one that stands out above all: oppression of African-Americans. However, we do not refer to this era as oppression but rather segregation. Segregation is defined as “a setting apart or separation of people or things from others or from the main body or group,” in this case from Caucasians (“The Definition of Segregation”). From the day the first slaves arrived in America until 1964 when President Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act, African-Americans had been treated unfairly ("Timeline of the Civil Rights Movement, 1850-1970").…

    Group projects at school are one of high schools most frustrating aspects for many students. Often, the teacher picks the groups and it never fails that you're stuck with someone very different from yourself. In my dual credit history class, the professor assigned us a very difficult project. We had to pretend that we were the United States government, and we had to come up with plans to solve the dust bowl, and the great depression and then present them to the class, who was in turn aloud to ask questions. I was a sore thumb in my group, big into the FFA and the agriculture world I had so many ideas to solve the dust bowl which in turn would help the great depression.…

    Middle schools across the country should offer more competitive sports programs. School sports teams have usually been viewed as a high school activity. Recently, children have been put in competitive sports at a younger age, making them want to participate in competitive sports sooner in their athletic career. Waiting until high school to compete in sports can make students impatient and become less interested in their sports. Middle school sports provide an enhanced physical state, increased social interaction, and better high school programs for the students.…

    Throughout the year, as a class we have been given many different challenges in either the form of an essay, speech, or group presentation. The final assignment given to us was a group project presentation. From growing up in an age filled with technology, I have come to love projects that revolve around making some form of a PowerPoint presentation. This PowerPoint though, was both difficult and interesting for the reasons of being assigned group members not of my own choosing, learning to listen to others ideas which can help me to learn something new, and using former knowledge while working together to create a clean, in depth, and well prepared presentation. With working in groups of students whom I have known since I was young but…
