[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids do better in school when they have are doing sports.  I've seen grades for both my kids decline when they didn't have an after school sport.  They both do better academically when they have a busier routine.  They certainly wouldn't come home and study all afternoon if they didn't have sports practices.  Sports are a great outlet after school for them and they come home happy, ready for dinner and then they do their homework.  [/quote]

+100. Happy, healthy, well rounded kids are what we strive for. Why do the non sports parents always target sports yet never complain about the time spent in marching band, chorus, orchestra, etc.  Kids should be free to pursue outside interests whether it's sports, or the other things mentioned. They are only kids once. Too many kids who have never done anything outside of academics have trouble adjusting once they are out of school and often have social skills that lag behind their peers.
