Should Sport be Compulsory?

I am not a keen sport fan but I do feel sport should be compulsory in conjunction with as sport science lesson so students lean about their bodies and healthy eating. I left school 3 years ago, i was lucky to attend a Sport School, which meant sport was compulsory for everyone throughout. We was lucky to have a gym, running track, tennis courts, football pitch, gym hall and rugby pitch. Giving that the school had the facilities it was able to offer different sports for different pupils. I was not keen on football, rugby, trampolining but loved dance classes, yoga, tennis and using the gym and sauna. I think schools should not just offer the typical sports like ...  Read the complete review

I have never really majorly been into sports myself, and during my whole school life i have only ever had 1 lesson in sports a week. But it makes me think, maybe i had more lessons a week, i would have been more interested in it. I think that schools should have more sports lessons, because it encourages younger people to become fit and healthy. With fast food and unhealthy eating on childrens doorsteps, it is so easy for children to slip into the routine of playing video games and eating fast food. I think that as well as having sports lessons, kids should be taught how to live a healthy lifestyle as well as how to keep fit. I am at the age where i am joining my sixth ...  Read the complete review

Surely no one can deny that sport is good for you? No matter how much some people may love or hate it, its still good for you. With the countries obsesity levels rising, more and more campaigns are arising about healthy eating in schools. I'll be the first to admit that this is needed.

Now looking back however, I wish it did kick in earlier! You can see exactly what it did to some people. I have first hand experience. However this isnt the only problem. I could happily eat the ...  Read the complete review

Should sport be compulsory? We are never too far away from the fact that the population of Britain are becoming a more unfit and heavier nation that we have ever been before. No-one seems to accept responsibility. There is an ad campaign on TV at the moment trying to educate parents to feed their children healthier and more appropriate portions for their size and to get involved in exercise/activity. The government have been under fire for not providing healthy school meals and giving enough time in the syllabus dedicated to physical activity. It is a joint effort, we all need to make a difference in order to maintain the ...  Read the complete review

I believe sport should be a compulsory part of every persons education, from first starting in pre-school to leaving at sixth form. Being fit and healthy should be important to everyone; but it's a shame we live in a society that neglects the importance of sport. Just look at the rise in obese people in our society, it's sad to hear these figures are rising, and shows not enough is being done to combat obesity. I used to hate certain sports at school, however I'm glad to a certain extent I was forced to join in because it has helped me to stay a fit and healthy individual. The problem with compulsory sport is that not enough schools offer ...  Read the complete review
