Teenagers are far better with sports in school rather than out. Sports have lifetime benefits that help a lot of students for instance, to participate in sports a majority of schools require you to be eligible, students who play sports when in high school tend to get better paying jobs later in life, they have more confidence and leadership skills, in short, sports have far more positive outcomes than negative. When students play sports in school it motivates them to do better. With more school pride and confidence they strive to do well and reach academic goals. The teachers take part in making sure they’re athletes do well in school as well by not allowing them to participate in games (and/or practices) if they have any failing grades
