They might also when they play sports they make friends which might encourage them to study together or help them with stuff they don't know. There is one thing that you can do that doesn't involve taking away their sports ,you could set up tutoring sessions that they could sign up for. That is most kids want to do ,but we don't have one so they can't. Wouldn't it bring a smile to your face when everyone's grades are up.
