Sports is a great thing for kids in school. For one they help kids make friends out side of their class room, brings happiness, and could even start a future for some if you are talented enough. By doing sports and being good enough colleges might reach out to you and offer you scholarships such as half paid for or even a full scholarship.
Other people might think sports are a not a good thing for kids because it could cause such things as injuries and much more. Sports can take up most of your time and interfere with school. After school and going strait to practice can be very exhausting and time consuming. Sometimes it can be so tiring that you go to sleep right after practice and not do your homework. But that comes at the cost of being a athlete especially if you want to make a future in it. One more thing good about sports is that without it you can become very lonely. To sum everything up I think sports are a very good thing.
