Claim- Schools should be aloud to have sports.
by Wyatt Thistle
1. R1: Good fitness
1.1. R1. Support: ¨The fitness level of athletes in high school sports programs cannot be underestimated. According to a report from the NFHS, a 2006 study on female athletes found that when female students are given more opportunity to participate in athletics in high school, their weight and body mass improve" (Chen).
2. R2: Team Work
2.1. R2 Support: ¨An article at We Play Moms explains team work because everyone is working toward a common goal in team sports, students learn firsthand how their performance impacts the rest of the team¨ (Pham)
3. R3: Time Management
3.1. R3 Support: ¨Practice and games take up plenty of a student’s time, leaving much less for school work and other activities. Athletes must learn time management skills if they are going to get everything finished.¨ (Chen)
4. Ca. Sports do not have an impact on school.
4.1. CA. Evidence: ¨A survey conducted by the Minnesota State High School League in 2007 and reported by the NFHS found that the average GPA of a high school athlete was 2.84¨ (Ripley 10)
