My+editorial+story

= Lots of people say that youth sports are getting taken way to far and that kids should stop playing them, But there is alot of reasons why kids should continue to play sports and that is because kids in America are getting even more and more unhealthy and sports keep you more healthy. Another reason is that when you join a sports team you can make a lot of friends and socialize there, I met a lot of my good friends playing on sports teams. The last couple of reasons kids should keep on playing sports is because studies show that kids who play sports do better in school and get better grades and that Playing sports is just fun because you get to go outside and into the fresh air. I have played 3 sports in my life hockey for 6 years, basketball for one year and lacrosse for 1 year. People have said that kids have the most injuries But that doesn't mean that they are all from kids playing sports, and healthier kids have a better chance of not pulling a muscle. And that is why kids should keep on playing youth sports. = Rachel,

You have some excellent points started here! I already see 1) kids need exercise 2) sports are fun 3) sports allow kids to socialize

Take each of these points, and turn them into their own paragraph. For each paragraph, you will want some facts (quotes from a recent news article) and your own opinion or experiences.

Good work! Love, Mrs. McKone
