Should student athletes have to get good grades to play good sports?

Answer 1

Yes because grades are very important in life. They can be very helpful when it comes to job interviews. So you need to keep your grades up by doing good in school, so that includes studying and homework! So when you're at Basketball or football or Baseball practice then you won't have time to do homework after school. It may not seem like homework is important but it can really bring your grades up, so that's why students do need good grades to play sports in America

Answer 2

Well I think that members of any sport should have good grades. Only because it is considered a privilege to play in sports. I am 14 and I am in track, and trying out for cheer leading for my freshmen year and I get fairly good grades(mostly A's maybe two B's). And maintain to keep it that way. Why do you ask? Doesn't your school tell you that you should get good grades, or is it because you want to play but don't have the grades for that particular sport and think it is very unfair?

Answer 3

i don't think so but you have to at least get some good grades

I too think that should students shouldn't be required to have good grades to be involved in sports. but the problem is that the grades make the students work harder to achieve something that they want.

Answer 4

Some areas of sports require more than physical fitness and skill at the game. It is useful to know certain things like nutrition, Biology and physiology, especially if the person in question wants to coach when they are no longer able to play the game itself.

Answer 5

Yes, I think they should. My school requires an 80 or above average.

Yes they should but I think 80 is a bit high. Some people really struggle to get 50s and 60s. I think that if they really want to play they should get at least a 70. This is not in every subject but an average.

Yes. The point of school is education, not sports. Good grades should be required to participate in any extra curricular activity. If a person is struggling to get good grades, they should focus on studying, not playing sports.

Answer 6

No, I believe that if athletes have passing grades, that will be enough to play sports.

Answer 7

Because there coaches are counting on them if they don't get good grades and cant play they could let down the whole school.

Answer 8

Students should get good grades to play sports because if their focusing on their grades they will be not paying attention to the coach or they will rather be sitting out of the sport.

Answer 9

As long as they like the sport.
