[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sports and team work can be appreciated out of school, in YMCA, neighborhood, family, club, intramural etc. Interscholastic sports does not have any monopoly on the positive aspects of sports.[/quote] Agree in part. Disagree in part. Many of the lessons that one can learn from sports obviously can be learned elsewhere in large part. No one has said otherwise. A fundamental difference, however, exists between playing varsity basketball (or some other sport) in high pressure games against an arch rival, the finals in a tourny, etc, versus playing intramural sports. The ability to step up to the plate, to focus, to be a good and supportive teammate, and to work with others for a common goal are very important life skills, and are directly learned in high school sports.[/quote]
