Introduction Hockey is a game of stick and ball with origins going back to thousands of years. It is conventionally played on grass, but more frequently it is played on man-made surfaces. Two teams play using hooked sticks to push, hit, pass and dribble a small, hard ball with single aim in mind i.e. to notch a goal by receiving the ball past the goalkeeper. Hockey is a team game played on a very large surface of field or ice or may be on street. With the Hockey stick in hand, players clash to strike the puck past the goalie into the opposite teams’ goal net. Every team has somewhere from 12 to 30 plus players with at least one labeled goalie. Players are chosen as either defensive or offensive players. Every team has three forwards on the field or ice, a center, right wing and left wing, has two defensive players and a goalie. That is without a team is shorthanded due to a penalty.
“Sports teaches you character, it teaches you to play by the rules, it teaches you to know what it feels like to win and lose-it teaches you about life.”(Billie Jean King) Most students from first grade to twelfth grade say that sports are a big part of their life and
Lacrosse is a team sport played with a lacrosse stick and a lacrosse ball. Players use the head of the lacrosse stick to carry, pass, catch, and shoot the ball into the goal. The sport is governed by the Federation of International Lacrosse; the most prominent international competition is the World Lacrosse Championship, which has been dominated by the United States. The sport has four versions that have different sticks, fields, rules and equipment: field lacrosse, women's lacrosse, box lacrosse and intercrosse. The men's games, field lacrosse (outdoor) and box lacrosse (indoor), are contact sports and all players wear protective gear: helmet, gloves, shoulder pads, and elbow pads. The women's game does not allow body contact but does allow stick to stick contact. The only protective gear required for women players is eyegear, while goalies wear helmets and protective pads. Intercrosse is a mixed-gender non-contact sport that uses an all-plastic stick and a softer ball. Field lacrosse is the men's outdoor version of the sport. There are ten players on each team: three attackmen, three midfielders, three defensemen, and one goalie. Each player carries a lacrosse stick. A short stick measures between 40 and 42 inches (about 1 meter) long and is used by attackmen and midfielders.
To achieve a goal a team has to work together. I was mad when Liam had to move away from Carter, his best friend, and cousin. I was sad when I moved out my old house that my parents brought me home to when I was born. This has changed me because I used to be jealous of people when they had something I wanted but I have changed. One of many ways this changed me is that I have learned to never give up.
The Basketball Court Damian Lillard once said, "Whenever I'm on the court, I feel like I'm making a statement and a case that I belong." That quote says a lot about the feeling on the court; however, what I see and hear is what gets me those feelings, and what I feel gives me the drive for success. The more and more I drive towards success in the game of basketball the more people I meet and the more motivation and inspiring I get from those people.
Youth sports have many issues that affects kids like injuries, lack of interest in the sport and most importantly bad parenting. The problem in youth sports is that parents expect too much from their children at a young age causing them to stop doing sports at the age 13, more or less. Parents are making their children play year round sports that can lead into injuries. What I’ve researched so far, many articles and journals are meant for parents to make them improve their parenting on young athletes. I’ve read that many parenting styles regarding youth sports are repetitive. In other words, many parents are making the same mistakes like being too hard on their kid or enforcing training for many hours. From my research so far there are good and bad physical and mental outcomes of kids doing sports at an early age. Many of which are mainly good but all
Hockey is an iconic sport for Canadians. It represents our heart, spirit, and dedication as a country. For years it has been what makes us who we are. But since the beginning of the sport, men’s hockey has been more popular than women’s. This sparks the idea of what gender inequality is like anywhere around the world. It is important to keep sports gender neutral and balanced. We can change hockey for women. The struggle for gender equality is prominent in hockey in Canada, and action needs to be taken in order to prove that gender inequality is a problem universally.

Every year over 7,807,000 high school students, including me, play a sport through their school (they are counted twice if they play two sports and so on) (NFHS). I have found that playing basketball is a great way to be involved in the school and meet new people. However, in the past 7 years sport participation in middle and high school has gone down by more than 4.9% (Facts: Sports Activity). Playing a sport is important, studies show that playing sports in high school not only builds character, but can also increase student health and fitness, and contribute to an athlete’s future success.

The money received from the federal grant would be best invested in building a sports stadium. The discipline established by sports in a student’s life sometimes goes unnoticed. Life long habits are created, as well as work ethic, a competitive nature, and most importantly a foundation for a healthy lifestyle. The benefits impact many people aside from the athletes as well. People who often omit exercise from their life may be more motivated to go to the stadium to run a few laps. The attractiveness of a modern day sports stadium is motivation to get outside and move. As cliche as it may sound, it is true. Whether you go to simply enjoy the view, or to be apart of an active environment, the benefits of twenty to thirty minutes of exercise are impactful.
