How To Stay In Shape During Off
Season
Set goals on what you want to be or what foods
you can or can't have. For example no cookies or no
sugar. Go to the gym or do some at home exercises
like sit ups or pushups. You could go on a simple run
every day to stay in shape. Help out with chores at
home. I know it doesn't sound like fun, but helping
your parents out with simple things like sweeping the
floor or washing the dishes, instead of sitting on the
couch and watching T.V. all day will have you doing
more physical activity. Go outside and practice your
sport like if you play volleyball you could practice
serving a volleyball against a wall,or practicing your
running for soccer, cross country or track; you'd be
surprised on how much you can improve over a short
amount of time. Try doing the more physical things;

School Sports
The objective of school sports is the enrichment of
the high school experiences of students within the context
of the educational mission of schools. Providing
opportunities for the student athlete to seek and achieve
academic, athletic and personal potential .The initial focus
was almost exclusively on boys. Within the school
program, Luther Gulick established the New York Public
Schools Athletic League (PSAL) in 1903. They motivate
intercollege sports, so they can be good once they get to
college. The number of athletes was rather stable after a
slight decrease, 3.3 to 3.5 million males and 1.7 to 1.9
million females. Since 1990, numbers of high school
students and athletes increased.
