1. The right to have fun in a sport without a parent’s decision making. Parents sometimes get so involved and influence their children in playing a certain sport. Athletes should be able to make up their own mind on what they want to play if they even want to play that sport.
2. The right to not get penalized if you miss a practice or game because of school. Many student get home late from practices and games not allowing them to get all their school work done and other things needed. This will allow student athletes not to have the stress that many of them face trying to juggle everything and get their work done with sports.
3. The right for parents not to be fully involved in their child’s sports life. Numerous times you hear of parents talking to the coach about their child not playing. This will allow parents to not be able to talk to the coach about their child’s playing time and let the coach decided what his or her team will do.

The right to submit late work for a class. Student’s grades suffer with the lack of time between school, sports and sleep. If a child is falling behind in school they should have the option to submit assignments in late to put their best effort into the work, and still be able to participate in their sport.
5. The right to the up-to-date information about benefits and risks of participation in sports. Multiple injuries occur in sports and with this right it will help parents and student’s athletes know about benefits and risks of sports participation. Parents and athletes will be given information before the start of the sports season to know about the pros and cons of the
Those who play popular and highly competitive college sports are treated unfairly. The colleges and universities with successful sports like football and basketball receive millions of dollars in television and ad space revenues, so do the National Collegiate Athletic Association, which is the governing body of big time college sports. Many coaches are also paid over $1 million per year. Meanwhile, the players that help the colleges receive these millions of dollars are forbidden to receive any gifts or money for their athletic achievements and performances. As a solution college athletes ...
The amount of unnecessary behavior by parents at youth sporting events is increasing rapidly and is ruining the kid's experiences and their passion for the sports. Parents in the United States are becoming more involved in their children's sports than the kids themselves. The reason that so many young American athletes are quitting at such an early age is because their parents are making the sports a joyless experience and are placing too much pressure on the kids to win and to be the best. Parents have become out of control at youth sports and it seems that the kids are showing more civility than the parents these days. Parents need to get back to teaching their kids that sports should be played for fun and not just for showing who's the best.
The infrastructure of an intercollegiate and interscholastic athletic program is vital to attract potential student-athlete. To train them to be the best they can be, and allow to be in a haven where they can focus on important tasks that are ahead of them. From luxurious locker rooms, to outfitted weight rooms, and even to the basic shower stalls, athletic fieldhouses and team centers are expanding and getting bigger and better each year. Sometimes it cannot be all about football and men’s basketball at universities, or even just the male sports. There must be that equal access of facilities by both genders to comply with the policies of Title IX. When President Richard Nixon signed the Title IX of the Education Amendments in 1972, it said “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation, in be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance” (“Title IX Legal Manual”). Athletic administrators have to be careful when it comes to facility design and usage, as a simple denial by a coach or facility manager can lead to an equity issue if nothing is handled the right way.
A student athlete has many more responsibilities than the typical college student. With these added responsibilities, should student athletes be required to follow the same class attendance rules that are put into place for all students? If they’re good students, should they be allowed to miss class every now and then to train? In my opinion the answer to that question is yes. I have mentioned previously my proposition for the college athlete attendance policy. I propose that there should be a national rule that college athletes, with a GPA above a 3.0, should be allowed to miss class to train, work on homework, or rest. The athlete would have to notify the professor that they wouldn’t be in class and find out what is being covered in the class session. If the athletic department, student, and professors work together, I don’t see why this solution would not work.
College sports has become like a job with players getting paid in scholarships, and the coach being the boss. The players must do what the coaches tell them to, and that is not always the best thing because coaches will do whatever it takes to win and earn money, even encouraging the use of drugs (Peck 36). Sometimes when coaches want players to come to their schools, they will give them preferential treatment and benefits while they participate in college sports regardless of NCAA rules (Saffici and Pellegrino 1 of 6). There is no doubt that college athletics are changing and becoming a big business, so the rules associated with how student-athletes are treated must change too (Saffici and Pellegrino 1 of 6).
...st to keep athletes in the game and in practice, but sometimes that's just not possible and students and many times their parents get very angry about that.
Abstract: Collegiate athletes participating in the two revenue sports (football, men's basketball) sacrifice their time, education, and risk physical harm for their respected programs. The players are controlled by a governing body (NCAA) that dictates when they can show up to work, and when they cannot show up for work. They are restricted from making any substantial financial gains outside of their sports arena. These athletes receive no compensation for their efforts, while others prosper from their abilities. The athletes participating in the two revenue sports of college athletics, football and men's basketball should be compensated for their time, dedication, and work put forth in their respected sports.
College athletes are not forced into playing the sport that they have devoted their time to during their years in secondary education. They continue to play into the college level for their love of the game. And for this, many college athletes are offered full scholarships. Today’s tuition for many schools are so expensive that without the scholarships that some of the students receive, they would not be able to attend college at all. For these students, college sports offer a great avenue to obtain an education that otherwise would not have been available for them. This allows them opportunity to study something that they can use to build a better life for themselves and their families.
Third, we believe young people should have the right to sport and physical activity. For us, this is deeply intuitive. We see real value in physical fitness, and can see its direct impact on mental and physical health. We see value in competition and in teamwork; the lessons gained on fields of play, the ones gained alongside trusted teammates, apply at work.
Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream, but so Cassius Clay, Jackie Robinson, and Bill Russell. Long before King’s famous “I Had a Dream” speech or Rosa Parks famous stand came something much simpler: sports. Sports have always had the ability to open people’s eyes in a way that is more impactful than words or actions. The way that athletics can shape a persons mind, or open their eyes to something beyond what they already believe, is incredible. They can get everyone to root for a common purpose, a common goal. And for some, that was freedom. The integration of professional and collegiate athletics not only changed sports history, but helped shape American history.
I believe schools should not force students to participate in organized sports. Medical conditions, such as asthma, prevent students from being able to participate. Family situations may leave the student with no ride to or from practice. Students may not have time to be able to

These days, there is too much pressure on children who participate in organized sports because of the unnecessary parental involvement they experience. A growing concern amongst those involved in youth sports is that certain aspects of parental involvement become detrimental to the development and experiences of young athletes. Early emphasis on winning, making money, and the disruption of education can exceedingly affect ones desire to further participate in a sport later on in his/her life.
When it comes to teaching, there are many different ways and types of methods you can use to teach your students. One of the most common ways of teaching is by using Sport Education. This type of teaching style is best used for elementary students. According to Daryl Siedentop, a professor from Ohio State University believes that class should teach kids about skills, teamwork, and the importance behind each sport or activity. Sport Education recreates the meaning behind gym class.
