Sports are Healthy

(The Little Engine That Could)

If you like playing sports, then this is the essay for you. Many
people don't care and they think that sports are just optional, but
they are great for you. Every kid should play competitive sports
because it gives you good teamwork, it gives you something to
do for practice and games, and lastly, it is good exercise.

One reason why every kid should play competitive sports is
because it gives you good teamwork. One time when I was
playing soccer I was passing a lot. We were getting goals
ecause my teammates and I were passing a lot.

Another example of sports teaching you teamwork is one time
I was playing basketball I showed great teamwork when my
teammate and I were passing. I passed to him, and he passed
the ball back then passed to him. And he scored. The last
reason is getting a point. You need great teamwork for this
you need to pass and trust your teammates. You can get a point
for your team if you have great teamwork. This is why playing
competitive sports gives you great teamwork.

The next reason why every kid should play competitive sports
is because it gives you something to do when you go to
practices and games. One example of this is one time when
I had soccer practice I was so happy because I had homework
and I did not want to do it. So I just did it after practice. This is
why playing sports gives you something to do like doing your
homework a little later. The next example of sports give you
something to do when you go to practice and games is when I
was playing sports. It is better than staying home and doing
nothing but play on your iPad or your computer or your phone.  
Another example of sports giving you something to do when you
go to practice and games is because is because you get a
chance to play with your friends and play a game with them.
For example, if you are playing all day on your video games
then you will need to get really active and play outside with you
friends. This is why sports give you something to do for practice
and game.

The next reason why every kid should play competitive sports is
because it gives you good exercise. The first example of why it is
good exercise is because one day when I was playing soccer I was
running up and down the field and kicking the ball a lot and then back
up again. The next example is dribbling the ball with with your hand in
basketball. And also you are kicking the ball with your foot in soccer
and running with your legs. You are also throwing a ball in football.
This is also why sports give you good exercise . The last reason why
sports give you good exercise is because you can get you better at
your sport if you run a lot and play your sport really aggressively.  
Then you can get better at your sport, and this is why sports give you
really good exercise.

To wrap up this essay, sports give you something to do when you
go to practice and games. Sports teach you great teamwork
because you can learn to pass the ball a lot. Sports give you
good exercise because you are running and running up and
down the field fast and slow with hands and feet. This is why
you should play sport.  They are very good for you.
