Informative Essay On Softball

We had been waiting all day, we were all ecstatic for practice. It was the last of the season. As soon as the final bell rang, we raced to our locker room to get dressed. I made sure to grab my spikes and was off to our team meeting place. As the team gathered with excitement we saw our coach approaching us with a look of despair. He explained to us that the high school students would be taking over the track for the day and that our last middle school, track and field practice would not be happening. Many of the students were very upset because it was at our school and so therefore it was our track. Many incidents like this have more than likely happened to the swimmers and softball players as well.
Look at the state championships Havre has in softball, it’s none. If we had a closer field to practice on, we would have more time to practice, leading to better athletes. Also, you probably know that the pool is not at the high school. So some students cannot attend due to the location and time. What is the cause of this you may ask. The problem is that we don't have the resources at the high school to practice there. We rely on community areas where anyone can go and it disrupts practices.

If we had the locations at the school we wouldn’t interfere with other practices when we were to hold events.

Many other students told me that they would go out for spring sports if they were at the school, but because they aren't they decide not to. Not to mention everyone I have asked about this issue feels that it is an unnecessary annoyance. While other school programs and other people are trying to do something, we are being an interruption to them and they are interrupting us. How can you hold productive practice when there are other people there taking space, using the equipment we need, and taking away our time? The answer is, we can’t, and the fix is easy. Simply start saving up money and also do fundraising to get the money needed to build the things we need here at Havre

High.

With a place at the high school we could get to practice faster, giving us more time to practice. There is a school rule that on Wednesday practice has to be done at 5:15, with that amount of time we shouldn’t even have practice that day because there will only be about an hour to practice. As I spoke to Megan Miller, a member of the swim team, she told me that ¨only a handful of people showed up to the open swim.¨ Many athletes could not attend due to the time and place because they had other things that needed to be done. Because the location of the practices is not at the high school our practice time is decreased everyday. This causes students to have little to no time after school for homework and even be ineligible to participate. With a greater amount of practice time, earlier in the day Students at Havre High will improve, making our teams even better.
If the high school had their own track me and my fellow classmates would not have missed out on our last practice in middle school. Although the fix to this problem is easier said than done, I believe it can be accomplished. With all the people who believe and feel that this is a need for our school it will be easy to raise enough money in a matter of a few years. You may have heard this before and not thought much of it, but when Allen Iverson said “When you are not practicing. Someone else is getting better.” It meant something and it is true. All the other schools in the state are getting the practice time and improving, that is what we need at Havre High.
