School sports! Everyone has heard about them, and/or played them before. Most people like them, too. At TMS, there are several sport choices each season.

If you play sports, you can learn to have better time management skills. You will be on time more than you were before. If you’re on time, say for a job, then you have a better chance of not getting fired or yelled at by your boss.

In the fall, my school, Tripp Middle School, offers a choice between cross country, soccer, football, and field hockey.

You could also have better grades. If you have better grades, you will feel good about yourself. A reason you could have better grades is that if you want to stay on the team, you have to keep your grades up. If you don’t, then you will be taken off the team.

In the winter, we offer two different kinds of skiing. They are Nordic and alpine, and we also have hockey. Tripp also offers basketball.

By participating in sports, you can make more friends. There may be some people that you don’t know that like to play the same sport as you. Therefore, you make new friends and have a better social life. For instance, if you are running cross country, then you will have a running buddy.

In the spring, you have a choice between track and field, softball, and baseball.

So, you have many different choices between the three seasons.

If you are scared, just go for it. Sometimes it can be scary, but you have other people around you to help you out.

So, if you love sports, then you won’t have to worry about not being able to play them here at Tripp Middle School. Our school also has a grade policy. If you are failing two or more classes, then you are not able to be on a sports team. Also, if you start out being able to be on the team, you can’t let your grades slide because they will take you off the team if they do. So, all you have to do is try your hardest and you should be able to succeed.
