Persuasive Essay On Coed Sports In Schools

In boy’s football, boys can grab their opponent’s chest to push them back. If girls were to play with boys, boys could not be able to push back girls without being called out for being “unmannered”. Boys are generally also bigger, heavier, and taller than women. When it comes to sports such as football, men naturally have the upper hand. To make the game equal, there would have to be a whole new set of rules on what boys can and cannot do. Even so, many schools still implement co-ed teams, saying that girls should be able to play with boys and that it is false to say that girls cannot compete with boys on an athletic level. They also claim that putting boys and girls on the same team promotes gender-diversity and equality, whilst also

Why should kids do team sports? This question has troubled lots of parents. The answer is not to make more friends. It's so kids perform better physically, academically, and socially. So whats the secret in team sports that make kids perform better. Its right in this article.

There has always been that stereotype of boys being more athletic than girls. The gender segregation of sports reflects more than just physical differences between men and women. It reflects the way men think about women and sports. When someone throws a baseball in a nonathletic way, a friend would yell, “Stop throwing like a girl!” Being reminded of this

America’s baseball diamonds, soccer fields, hockey rinks, and basketball courts have never been so busy with children. The number of kids involved in an organized sport is not what is so groundbreaking. It’s the way in which children are playing or how their parents are arranging for them to play that may be cause for concern (Ferguson). Much controversy surrounds youth sports with the biggest disagreements coming over parental involvement and the intensity of play. Although there are many benefits for team participation, there is a growing fear that the negatives are starting to outweigh the positives.

The United States has a big amount of opportunity, freedom and equality. Anyone from any gender and any religion has the same rights as any other American. They can be able to do what they want to do and play the sports they want to play. Title IX, also known as the title nine federal law, gives anyone the ability to play any sport they want and do what ever they desire. This law is also focused on the rights the students have. It made it illegal to discriminate students for any differences. Girls also get the right to play any sport they want like boys do meaning all students should definitely be treated equally. Everyone should be treated equally.

Many people enjoy watching sports, but primarily men received the chance to participate in athletics until the passage of Title IX. The MARGARET Fund of the National Women’s Law Center (2016) states that “only 1 in 27 girls played high school sports”

I’ve never been the type to have been interested in our basketball team, any other sports offered at my school, or even gym classes. During my time in middle school through high school, our basketball team was very important to my district. That isn’t saying that these parts of nearly every school district, aren’t important. I’m a firm believer that regardless of the importance of these classes, a student can always learn a valuable lesson from these. There, of course, would be people that would disagree with my decision but if I was in charge of my district, I would cut funding to sports, and gym courses. I choose sports and gym classes because the amount of children that sign up for spots is lower today in my district. The number of participates

Kids in sports shouldn’t receive trophies for participating in sports. Children who participate in activities such as sport and music, earn trophies just for taking part in it. Ribbons, trophies, and medals are handed out at the end of the season to everyone children, to make everything fair. But, is this really fair to everyone? Just because they participated and showed up to some practices, doesn’t mean they deserve it. It wouldn’t be fair giving an award to a player who demonstrated a bad attitude on those rare occasions she or he actually showed up. In an article Ashley Merryman said “The benefit is improving. When you’re constantly giving a kid a trophy for everything they’re doing. You’re saying ‘I don’t care about improvement. I don’t

As kids participate in sports, they develop confidence, good social skills, build self-esteem, and stay healthy (Sutton). Just from participating in sports kids reduce their likelihood of developing lifelong diseases such as diabetes. Kids that play sports often have better social skills than kids that do not because they spend a lot of time talking with coaches and teammates. As children grow up, they should be required to play sports in order to develop a healthy lifestyle, good team building skills, and good social skills.

Many People think that the collegiate sports are just a form of entertainment for them and the players but the players think of these sports as a job. The NCAA is the National Collegiate Athletic Association and it is the center of making all of the rules for collegiate sports. They decide on if student athletes are employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act or not. Student athletes do not get enough recognition and seen as students or entertainment but not as employees. Although some people do not believe student athletes deserve the recognition of being employees, others know they should because these students fall under the title employee from the requirements placed by the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Throughout the article the writer talked about school sports and gender equality, the writer focused on girls not having the same sports or having the same opportunities as guys. In my opinion the writer should have focused on how both genders have unequality in sports. For an example, many of the schools don't have boys volleyball, meaning that the boys who want to play that sport can't. This is shown in many schools throughout the country including the school I go to. At Rangeview High school girls can play any of the sports that guys play, they can join the boys football team or wrestling team. On the other hand guys that want to play volleyball are not allowed to join the girls team. We are trying to teach our kids that gender equality

Do you have a passion, something you love to do more than anything? Imagine people trying to stop you from doing what you love because they think it’s not useful or a waste. Some people say competitive sports cost too much and they are way too dangerous for young kids to participate in. However, for many youth, competitive sports play a positive role. When kids play competitive sports, they are happier and they learn how to be healthy. Also, they learn life lessons that they will need for the future.

Participation trophies, a little silver man given to kids after they competed in an event to make them experience joy, has now become a national argument. This 25 cents piece of plastic have become a rallying cry of what’s wrong with are generation, that this is to blame for why were entitled, why we are lazy, why are generation sucks. I know there’s a lot wrong with the world but is this one of them or is this more a show of our current outrage/snowflake culture where we have to get upset at stuff that doesn’t affect us. I come to explore the opposite side of how this plastic, can humble kids showing that life isn’t all about winning and losing. That a loss should be motivation to continue and how an early positive motivation can help kids continue to gain all the positives that comes from sports

The most watched event in the US every year, the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl is the championship football game of the National Football League (NFL). A brief explanation of football is this, a game of two teams trying to score as many points as possible in the allotted amount of time. Each team has an offence and defence, when the team is on offence they either run the ball or pass the ball to try and score a touchdown, while the opposing team's defence is trying to force the team's offence to give up the ball or the possession. If the team with the ball does score or is forced to give up possession, the offensive and defensive teams switch roles (the offensive team goes on defense and the defensive team goes on offense). The game is split into four, fifteen minute quarters. What makes football different from most sports is the violence and aggression of the game. In order to stop players with the ball you have to tackle them, since every player is padded up the tackles are very hard and violent. In order to be one of the two teams in the Super Bowl it is a long process. After a 16 game regular season you have to be one of the best 6 teams out of your 16 team conference to make the playoffs. (There are two conferences). In the playoffs there is a playoff bracket for each conference, the teams play single elimination games and the remaining team from each conference gets to play in the Super Bowl.

Organized youth sports are extremely popular among youth and their families, with approximately 45 million children and adolescent participating in the US. There are many characteristics children can develop while playing youth sports such as confidence, self-esteem, leadership, respect, independence, assertiveness, and conflict resolution. Competition can help kids learn more, improve faster and reach a higher level of excellence than they would be able to without the ongoing challenge. Competitive sports can help keep kids active and health as they grow, and other distractions increase that may lead to an unhealthy lifestyle. People argue that it can destroy self-esteem and lead to resentment. Programs and coaches overemphasizing
