Some people may believe that contact sports should be banned at schools. However I believe that contact sport is an important part of the school program and it should not be banned for these reasons. Playing contact sports at school keeps kids fit and active. If contact sports are banned at schools children won't be able to learn sports properly, as they will be teaching a non-contact style of the sport. This is important as every child needs the proper teaching for physical education.
Every child is comfortable playing with their friends but not all are comfortable playing in a team. A reason for this is that children want to have fun when they are playing a game. If they are playing in a team there are official referees and it is less fun. If they play with friends at schools they can be free and have fun by playing without proper rules. Also children are more competitive when challenging their friends so if they beat them they can prove that they are better. I would know this for a fact as i am a child myself. Playing contact sports at school are a good way of letting out any angry emotions that have been bottled up. This is possible as it is in a controlled environment as teachers will be supervising. If this is taken away children's anger emotions will be bottled up and this can be dangerous. Teengrowth.com says that if you bottle up your anger emotions it can cause stress and it will affect you physically and emotionally.
Although contact sports are dangerous, children are aware of the consequences and yet they still play. It is because they enjoy the game and if you take this away it can cause depression. This is a fact as Professor Gordon Parker, head of the Black dog institute, says that depression usually starts with a disturbed childhood. People are at school during their childhood so if the fun is taken away then they will be outraged, confused and most importantly, disturbed.
Contact sports shouldn't be banned because it is the key to the start of a sporty, energetic and fit child. Without contact sports at school, children will become tired, lazy and obese.
A survey was done to see if people wanted contact sports to be banned at schools or not. Out of 50 children and teenagers 42 of them said that contact sports should not be banned at schools. It is very much clear that contact sports should not be banned at schools as many children and teenagers love to play the game at its fullest.
