Our topic is American High Schools and why teamsport plays such an important role.
At every American High School there are different sport teams, for example basketball, football and so on. But these are the most important sports and most represented sports in America. Even cheerleading is a very popular ‘sport’ at high schools to cheer the high school sport teams. Every single game they perform at the sideline, rage a dance and shout the name of the team (e.g at football games). You can see them in many American films, too, in which a high school is an important place for the film. Following these baseball, football or basketball teams is easy, as they play in seasons against each other and so there is a rankinglist, too. Often some of the players which play in high school teams become professional players in basketball, football or baseball if they are good enough. If you decide to go to the training of the basket, football or baseball team, it is often the parents of the students who decide, because they want that for their kids what they never achived (e.g to be a famous football player).
High school sports are mostly teamssports and that is another good point because everyone learns to play and work with each other and only as a team you can win a game! The students also spent more time at school. The Americans also want to show that they care a lot about fitness and promoting fitness and health, because some people think: yes America… there are lots of ‘fat’ people and so they send a message to this prejudice. And the best thing for the school is the better the single teams are and the more they win (a cup or something) the more money the school gets. These were the main points why sport plays such an important role at High Schools.
