[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do so many posters that dislike sports assume parents expect their kids to get a full ride to college or play professionally? Our kids played sports because they enjoyed playing sports and all of the fitness, competitiveness, and camaraderie that came with it. They knew if their grades suffered their activities would be reduced but they always maintained strong grades. None of them wanted to play past HS but they enjoy playing on adult leagues now that they’re out of college and it’s been a great way to meet people and socialize and stay active. Some people just enjoy playing sports. It isn’t more complicated than that. [/quote] That's true, and a good point. Unfortunately grades nowadays means very little (everyone gets As, like seriously). I agree grades cannot suffer if they want to play sports, but because of low expectations at schools, it's hard to tell how they are doing academically. [/quote]
