Pros and Cons of Having Sports Before or After School?

Would you rather have your sports before or after school? Having sports in the morning before school would most likely be really stressful. You'd have to get up extra early just to get ready to go to practice. If you had practice after school, it wouldn't be as bad and since you already had school, you could just go straight home and get all of your school work done. Some people think that sports after school would take up chores and homework time. Others would rather have practice after school so they're able to go to weights in the morning. Everybody thinks differently. 

Some positive things about having sports before school is so you are able to go straight home after school. Another positive thing is so you can get all of your homework and chores done right when you get home so you won't have to worry about doing them when you get home late. I feel like if practice was early in the morning, it would be able to wake me up for the rest of the day and not have to worry about being tired in school. Positive things about having sports after school is because you don't have to worry about getting up super early and needing to get everything ready for practice and school. Another positive thing about practice being after school is because if you had a long day at school and your really anxious, you could use sports as a way to help relieve yourself from all the drama and stress caused at school.

Negative things about having practice in the morning is because you may be woken up for the rest of the day but you most likely won't have the energy to do anything. You will experience fatigue during class time and it would be a struggle to stay awake because you have the need to go to bed. Another negative thing is it leaves little time for other extracurricular activities, friends, work, and rest. Negative things about having practice after school is because without enough free time, kids can get stressed and anxious. Some kids may not mind having so mant activities at a time, but others feel the exact opposite. They can do so many at once and never get stressed. Also, having practice either before or after school is always a good thing because you get to strengthen your muscles and bones, help manage your weight, and it gives you something to do besides go home and be lazy. 

In my opinion, I would rather have practice after school because I absolutely hate getting up super early. I usually get most of my homework done during school hours so I wouldn't have to worry about it after practice. I would like to go home right after school, but I think it's good for me to go to practice so I don't just go home and lay in bed for the rest of the day.

  • I would rather have practice after school, that's how it's always been, and hopefully how it will always be. Having a practice before school would suck, you'd have to wake up really early and you'd have no energy. My favorite sport is football, mostly because its the most loved sport at our school. I don't play sports anymore, but I used to do volleyball, softball, and wrestling. 

  • I would not want to have practice before school. I think that practice after school is more effective and does not interrupt school time. i think that the school should not change the schedule for sports

  • I wouldn't want to have practice before school because I need my sleep. If I go to bed late, it's even harder to get up early.

  • I don't think it would be a bad idea if sports were before school. I think that you could go every other day with sports being in the morning and sports being after school. Sports being in the morning allows students to go home at an earlier time and be able to get things done for the next day. I play volleyball and run track, I think early morning volleyball practice would be nice but I think that track would be easier if it was after school due to it being dark in the mornings. 

  • I would rather keep sports after school because i'll have more energy towards the end of the day other than in the morning. My favorite sport is basketball but I decided to not go out for it this year. Right now i'm in bowling to change things up.

  • I wouldn't want to have practice before school because I like to sleep. I also think many people wouldn't show up to practice because they're too tired.

    • I also love sleeping, I wouldn't want to get up so early to go to practice, It may wake me up in the morning but you could also just drink coffee or an energy drink to wake yourself up.

  • I would rather have practice after school. I think there is more time to do things in the afternoon because there is more time then. My favorite sport is cross country. I do cross country and track.

    • I agree about having practice after school because in the morning there isn't that much time to have even an hours worth of practice.

  • I would rather always have practice after school. Being in a sport right now, I have morning conditioning almost every day. I find it tiring trying to rush to practice then rush home and grab my stuff, and all in all it just seems like a waste of time. I like haveing practice after school because I am not worried about getitng home in time. But, sometimes I do like getting my workout out of the way first thing in the morning.
