Participating in sports is a great way for students to stay active and healthy. Track is a good sport that all kids can do because it is non contact, kids can be outside, and there are no tryouts. Being active can also keep kids nowadays from being to overweight, which is a problem that kids face because they don't get the daily exercise that is needed. Keeping kids active is very good for there bodies and it can keep kids healthy.
