Summary: Semi-Annual High School Debate Tournament

It’s shaping up to be a trying year for the NCAA as two former athletes have come forward in the past week and filed a class action lawsuit against them for “academic fraud in its members schools’ athletic programs.” While some think this couldn’t get worse, from the numerous unacknowledged complaints from over the last century, a large number of the student athletes on the receiving end of less than stellar educations were African-American student athletes—especially in revenue-producing sports like basketball and football.

For the past 50 years in America, schools have made it a tradition to play sports in schools. But schools have been crushing the future for their students because they allow sports in schools. While students and parents feel that sports in schools are appropriate and valuable, that is just simply not the case and schools have just gone too far. Schools should eliminate sports programs because sports programs put a financial burden on schools, getting rid of sports will increase in academics and students can get injured when playing sports.

6th graders should be allowed to participate in school sports just as 7th and 8th graders. Reasons we should participate in school sports are, kids can get even more fit and strong than just being in gym, another one is people can challenge each other in competitions, my final one is that children can be incredibly better along with teamwork and leadership. This is why I think we should play in sports in 6th grade.

The football program is to dangerous and should be eliminated because it is way to dangerous to keep. 100,000 concussions occur every year from football that's more than how many shark attacks occur each year, most of the concussions result in death so basically 100,000 teen's/kid's die just from playing football. Over 500,000 injuries occur annually to american youth from playing football that's five thousand only from just playing football now sport injury all together is 30 million. 80% of the knee injuries suffered from playing football require surgery and the surgery could cause further complications with the athletes knee could even cause him/her to never play a sport again, something could go wrong in the knee surgery and affect the

Parents have always wondered what’s best for their child. Do they them play in a sport or do they keep them out of it? There are many reasons to let a child play a sport and it will most likely keep them out of trouble. Not every child is perfect however but it might help.

Some of these actions depend on the children and who they are against or how they are ranked in the social status, and some just lack of confidence. Others are not too affected because of their social status and how much confidence they have. “Children might get physically or emotionally scarred.” (Dodgeball debate Pt. 1) Some of the weaker kids can get seriously injured when against the bigger tougher kids. In acquaintance with that, kids are human targets. They are being picked on by the stronger ones to just get them over with. Furthermore, if a kid hits them right in the noggin, they can get knocked out and that could seriously affect their brain depending on how hard they got hit. “Some parents expect their kids to be safe in school.”

Several students have been chosen to chaperone the annual spring break games. A festive event for kids at the local campground "Camp Packanack". It's very similar to any summer camp,they are numerous games and challenges for the kids. This year,Matthew Henson an up and coming athlete, Kenny Riedell your Average joe,Mitch Floyd a stoner, Aj Manson A rocker chick,Vanessa Jones,Track and field star Brandon Wilson reknown quarterback, Tiffany Cox, the easiest girl in school as implied with her pink one shoulder crop top, demnim booty and white tennis shoes. more will be this year camp counselors.

In my first tournament, out of 100 debaters, I placed 4th. With two weeks of preparation, I managed to powerfully and persuasively relay my viewpoints while eclipsing three-fourths of my competition. I realized that not only did I enjoy debating, but I found my niche.

While several schools are banning dodgeball, there are thousands of people debating about whether dodgeball should be played or not. Dodgeball is a type of an outdoor game which involves targeting and throwing a ball to hit a person on the opposite team to score a point. Dodgeball is a very popular sport among students in the middle and the high school. However, several students who are unable to bear the pain avoid playing the sport. This highly valued game of the students is gaining a lot of attention in the recent times. People are raising questions about the consequences of playing a targeting game like dodgeball. As a result of which several schools have banned dodgeball. Although dodgeball is infamous among teenagers as an option for

One of the unique activities in high school around the United States is debate. This extra-curricular activity is the most influential activity one can participate in. Specifically, Lincoln-Douglass and Policy Debate because the amount of research and critical knowledge that is gained is amazing. Debate is an activity focused on preparing students to stand up for what they believe in. The activity requires students to analyze a topic known as a resolution, and then defending, supporting and critiquing that topic.

Oh great. Another bad day at school. Good thing we have basketball practice, today, to ease my mind. This is how some people think about sports. However, some do not think the same. Therefore, middle schools are deciding on whether to keep sports the same way they have been or scale back some on sports. Principals and superintendents should not scale students back on sports because it helps them prosper in many ways.

The college basketball season is nearing an end with the final games of the NCAA tournament upon us. This format sets up for many intriguing games, along with plenty of upsets. All in all, this tournament is unique and special to many people that watch and follow it. However, the players that represent their respected schools; many of them leave just after one year of playing. The problem is not that fan bases constantly have to learn the new names of the players in the next season. No, the problem is that players are going to college and not getting an education. This education would benefit them in the present time and long after they retire from playing professionally. By changing the requirements that student-athletes need to leave college, more student-athletes will be more prepared with a better education.

In today’s world, sport debates are very popular. Often seen on television through shows such as ESPN, First Take, and Sports Nation. These debates can be very entertaining to the viewers as two people ferociously argue about sport topics. An interesting discussion, however, is about Kobe and Steph. They may have similar traits in common, but they’re not as similar as analysts think. Kobe Bryant and Stephen Curry are both tremendous basketball players in their own right, nevertheless Kobe and Steph have a nearly opposite play style.

You are worried about your child going to get injured in his first game of football. Little did you know, there's nothing you should be really worried about. In fact, sports to young children or teens might seem dangerous. But on the other hand, it is just a fun sport for young children and teens to play. Sports also makes kids and teens active in a fun way and sports makes kid entertain themselves. Although sports seems dangerous, teens and young children should be allowed to play sports because sports makes them healthy, higher scores in school, and makes kids less depressed (sad).
