"Sports keeps kids out of trouble"?

Question

Answer

Two words: Steubenville, Ohio.

Answer

I wouldn't say just sports, but after school activities of any kind. I was never into sports but I had marching band after school in the fall, and brass ensemble in the winter and spring. Friends of mine had Science Olympiad, quiz bowl or drama. Being a part of a group, feeling like you belong and are important is what keeps kids out of trouble.

Answer

Well, I cheered my whole life and it kept me busy, I never got in trouble. So, in my case yes.

Answer

I think so... In jr high/high school I was so busy with practices, games, tournaments and then camps in the summer (I played fastball, volley and basketball), I never had time to party or be out with boys. I had a great time and awesome like minded friends, but I wasn't off getting In trouble. Don't find a lot of teen moms who are on a sports team, just sayin.

Answer

I've always been a believer in this. My dad coached my brothers rugby team since he was 5, a lot of the lads had really horrible home lives, one in particular his mum was on drugs and I think rugby gave him structure and rules. They're all 25ish now and this particular boy has just been sent to prison. My dad's really cut up about it. I dunno how his life would have turned out without rugby, I'm inclined to think it would have been worse. I hope he gets things back on track when he gets out.

Answer

Lol I had some team mates go to track meets high or drunk lol sure they are going to be occupied for some time, but like my friends they were in school activities as a form of community service hours forsay... Lol

Answer

Answer

I think sports can be a good thing. They teach hard work, dedication, team work, communication, etc. I think it depends on the coaches and the parents as well but it can be a good way for kids to release energy, cure boredom, exercise.

Answer

Sure, for the 2 hours until the leave the field.
