Hello Fellow Mayor, Have you ever wondered how many people get injured on sports fields? I think we should get a new baseball and football field. The fields we have now are in rough shape and they need to be fixed up.Football is a very physical and dangerous. I think the fields are dangerous too because they may have potholes or other things. Baseball fields are went in the spring because the sand has been washed away. They need to replace the sand every 5 years.I think we should get new sports fields because the fields are in rough shape and need work to them.The equipment that is going to be needed is going to be a lot of money but if the town puts a little bit of their taxes they will have enough for the equipment. I can find a place that …show more content…
Football, basketball, and baseball are outside sports and are very dangerous. The sports fields are in rough shape and need work done. The fields are old and need to be redone. The footballs fields goal post are not even. The grass isn't green during the summer and the soil has rugged bumps all over the field. The athletes wouldnt roll their ankle because the holes wouldn't be there anymore. There wouldn't be and many sprained ankles or broken ankles. The game wouldn't stop because there wouldn't be that many broken or sprained ankles. The baseball fields need new sand because there are places that the water sits after it rains. If we put new sand isn't the ground would be level so the water won't stay in just one spot. The water will sit in a spot after a while. Then you buy new sand and put new sand in. The cage is all rusty and needs new wire, poles, and new bases. The dug outs need to be redone into cement walls and they can be way nicer. The benches are old and rotting. There will be some big equipment involved in this job.You're going to need equipment such as a tiller to till up the grass, a tractor for the horse power, a bobcat to pick up items in spots they don't need to be, a dump truck to dump the sand, and a spreader to spread the grass seed. How are we going to pay for this? Well I was thinking that we could take a part of our taxes and put some money towards
When a new Minor League Stadium is under construction you can have a large impact of up to $5,812,756 in regional sales (Colcough, Daellenbach, and Sherony, 1994). Construction brings the opportunity for a boom in the job market. Once construction is done, it can leave some unemployment for those who were once employed to construct the stadium.
Some are trading the fun and experience of diversifying between basketball, baseball, soccer, etc. for year-round football. As a result, overuse injuries are occurring at an alarming rate among these one-sport wonders. For example, "Little League Elbow" describes overuse injuries in kids who are repetitively throwing the ball. Kids are sustaining severe injuries to their growth plates, neck and spinal cord that could end their career in pro-sports before it begins....

Some people don’t know why schools are trying to drop interscholastic sports. Some schools are trying to get rid of the sports that are going on for the district because of the cost to cover the injuries for the players or the cost of the equipment. Although people say that the equipment for school events like football pads, football cleats and basketball things. If the price goes down on the equipment schools would probably buy a lot of the equipment so they don’t have to buy it so they have extra material for events if something breaks or gets ruined. Among the cost of the equipment school districts would possibly use the same equipment.
The FIFA survey continues to prove that soccer, A.K.A. football, is the world’s #1 sport. There are about 240 million people in the world that play soccer from more than 200 countries. It is one of the most popular sports in the world that many people play now. It does take some time to learn the sport but, it shouldn’t be hard to learn it if you have the time and, put in a lot of effort.
This is a very complex and long transformation an area that I focus on as assistant operations director was the building of the dirt track in the shallow right field. To build the dirt track in the outfield the grass and the play surface must be protected to both offer a safe playing surface and to prevent costly repairs. To begin the build the nitro circus team laid plywood boards down so small 2-ton forklifts could move and place a protective plastic and floor. This protective floor cover more than a half of the field. While this floor was being place protective crash pads and other safety barricades where being moved in to place.
In stadiums, parks and fields all across America, many youth participate in a journey through defeat, heartbreak, hard work, and success. Practicing for hours, rain or shine, to be able to snag that game winning touchdown in the back of the endzone. Although football comes with many risks and dangers, I strongly believe that kids and teens should be allowed to play football because it promotes leadership, teamwork, and requires significant amounts of exercise and cardiovascular activity, and other contact sports are just as dangerous.
Some schools force students to participate in organized school sports. However, I believe that schools should not make this a requirement. Some students may have medical conditions, family situations that don't allow them to participate in organized school sports, or they simply may not have the time.
Attention Getter: Mia Hamm. Peyton Manning. Steve Nash. Here are just a few great athletes that most of us have heard of. But what is it that makes us look up to them? What is it that makes them great? The truth is that sports are only a small part of what makes a person worthy of looking up to.
Football, one of the most popular sports in the U.S., is also the most dangerous; it holds an astounding half a million injuries nationally due to the sheer violence and brute strength used against another player in the sport, and, although it is believed that these injuries can be prevented, there is nothing stopping another player from recklessly hurting another except their will-power, this is why football should be banned from high schools.
Earlier this year, my family and I went to Murray for my little brother’s basketball game. We walked into a clean school that had a very nice basketball court. The setup was well thought out and seemed to have everything in it. Flash forward a couple of weeks to when Nebraska City hosted a basketball tournament for the same age group at Northside School. “Where are the bleachers?” I asked when I noticed that there were only a couple rows of chairs set up on the far side of the gym. Turns out there were none. There was not even a scoreboard. Instead, they used a mini scoreboard on a table, similar to one used for wrestling matches that a spectator would have to try desperately to see. The same thing happens when my dad comes home from umpiring out of town. He tells my family how nice other fields are in other towns compared to ours. The same goes for our tennis courts. The demise of our sporting complexes is an important problem in the community, and possible solutions include: Complex usage fee, fundraisers and a hotel tax.
The current issue with the dugouts is that they need to be renovated. The dugouts are starting to look worn out with fading paint, brittle wood, and even sometimes a missing door leaving one side completely open. One might ask if the current dugout still gets the job done. It does not meet the criteria for a good looking and functioning dugout. With the current status, it almost seems like the building could collapse at any moment. The wood is beginning to crack, warp, and even rot. The structure is weakening, making it a hazard for all of those underneath. My idea is to replace the current home and visitors dugouts with new structures which would make the complex more appealing to visiting teams, so maybe they would want to come and play at the field instead of not wanting to, due to the poor dugout conditions.
Confucius once said, "he who does not do well is less guilty than he who pushes too hard." People found that competitive sports are often physically straining and it is detrimental to proper emotional development. This blows away the misconception that competitive sports create a healthy and engaging atmosphere for kids. This and an overly strong obsession with winning create a toxic mix for the child’s wellbeing. People have begun to realize the world of competitive may be doing more harm than good for their children. Parents have also begun to notice that competitive sports often injure their children severely and also make the child feel left out, which in turn is detrimental to the child 's emotional health. Therefore, competitive sports
New stadium construction isn’t the only issue, as existing teams want bigger, better, more modern stadiums. An excerpt from the book Sport and Public Policy states that “between 2000 and 2009, 31 major-league stadiums and arenas opened across urban America at a public cost of approximately $8 billion” and “most of these stadiums were built for already established, financially stable teams to replace stadiums that already existed.” (Santo and
It 's been outrageous , how many kids get injured per year playing youth sports for school and organizations. The youth who play sports receive plenty medical attention throughout the year due to injuries cause from actions made occuring in games. Health plays a big part in sports because if your are are not healthy many things can go wrong with the body including dehydration, heart problems , and muscle spasm. Playing a sport can be very hard to juggle with school and also getting talked down by coaches and parents. Dehydration is a high possibility because of outside sports that happen in the spring/summer and playing and practicing in humid conditions that you are not well prepared for can be bad and there will be consequences. Parents and
