That is the average life of a middle school soccer player. A topic that is often debated is whether middle schools should have a soccer team.

High School Sports Should high schools be all about education, and grades? I couldn’t see myself getting up in the morning excited to learn trigonometry. Let alone be happy in a place like my school. My point would be that I only come to school because I find motivation in the sports that this school has to offer. I tell myself I have to turn my homework in, or I need to read this page, and study so I can pass my test to play Friday night.…

This was never a thing that the NFL or pro sporting was worried about about the players kneeing for the anthem was never a big thing. It all started when everyone saw what colin kaepernick taking a knee when the national anthem was playing and they went wild over that but then it spread around on social media but every sport thing in the morning like sportscenter went wild over it. When kaepernick was just protesting his rights the players should take a knee and protest their rights. The NFL and other sporting things just need to let the players do it and not fine them.…
In the 21st century, it's common to know at least one person that does drugs, whether it be a friend or a family member. Among those people are athletes and high school students in general. Knowing this, I do not think high school sport players should be obligated to take regular drug tests. Playing a sport professionally and playing a sport for a high school are two different things. One big difference is that professional players make a lot of money, while high school players don't make any profit.…

In response to the article in The Advertiser (7/8/13) on sport in schools, I would like to say how disgusted I am that the new National Curriculum for schools will not include sport as a compulsory subject for all students. As being a student who loves sports and knows the influence it can have, I believe that if it is not in the National Curriculum students can become obese or overweight, can get stressed, and it doesn’t give students a chance to interact with one another. Firstly, students who are involved in sports usually have better social skills and are able to talk to other without feeling nervous or stressed. This is because sport can give students a chance to interact with others and get to know people a lot better.…

Which both of these help result in doing better academically and if an athlete have good grades and is a decent ball player, they have a good chance of having a very successful job as a ball player and making lots of money.…
Most adults’ favorite memories are from their past years participating in sporting events throughout their high school careers. They may not have realized it at the time, but they created memories and friendships to last a lifetime. High school athletes of future generations could not have the opportunity to invent vivid, unforgettable memories and such close relationships as our older generations had the chance to do. Not only could our future students miss out on memories and fun, but they could lack the life skills which athletes gain from participating in sports. High schools should continue to offer sports to provide students with leadership skills, opportunities for community involvement, and college scholarships to prepare for a bright,…
