Sport in British schools 


sport life

   Britain doesn’t often produce sportsmen or sportswomen who are successful in the world sporting championship but it has been good at inventing sports and writing the rules of games.

   Children are encouraged to participate in sports at an early age. There are children’s baseball, football, and basketball teams in almost every community in Great Britain. The rivalry between high schools and colleges in sporting events goes right through the school year from football in September to track and fields in June. Cheerleaders and bands lead the supporters in rooting for their home team.


   Sports are important in college. Students who show talent in a sport like tennis, track and fields, swimming, football, or basketball can apply for sport scholarship.
