A Report on The Lack of Interests in Sports Among Students

         
          On behalf of the students of SMKA al-Khairiah , I would like to convey to you the reasons why students are not interested in sports. Last week , on 19th March 2013 , I had carried out a survey on the reasons of their lack of interests in sports. My target is my schoolmates. Based on my survey , I found that there are three main reasons why they are not interested in sports ; students themselves , lack of parents supports , and the facilities.

          The first reason is the students themselves ; their attitude. They love to give a lot of excuses than involving in sports. Not only that , they also keep complaining that they are lack of time to involve the sports which means , they do not have enough time for sports. As we know and can see , in their daily routines , they have at least an hour for sports training every evening so , they have enough time for sports. On the other hand , parents also is a part of the reasons. Parents are too emphasized on their children’s academic performance. They said , "Sports are not really important to our children. How sports can improve our kids’ studies? We did not see that sports can change our kids’ achievements in studies". They also want teachers make lots of tuition classes for their children than encourage the students in sports. Students also complained about the facilities. They said that there are some insufficient sports equipment in school. Our field and courts are also in poor condition and need to be fixed as soon as possible.

          However, I suggest some ways to overcome these problems. I think we must stress on the importance of sports to students. This is because , they do not have enough knowledge about the benefits of sports so , we must ask the sports teachers to stress their students about the benefits of sports during classes. In other hands , you should slow talk with the students’ parents. You can ask their parents to come to school and talk about their children activities. Furthermore , about the facilities , it is quite a long period to fix our school facilities. We want students to involve in sports so , we need to improve our facilities to ensure their safety during play. If not , of course their parents will make sure , their children will not involve in sports again. We do not want it happen as well.

          Sir , our school need to hire more qualified trainers to take in charge the students. Every sports need a trainer. Maybe not for all sports but some of them , such as a trainer for badminton , football , rugby , netball , table tennis and tennis. We need students to be trained well. Co-curricular organization should organize more sports competition for students. They can held annual sport event to produce more good athletes. They also can offer many attractive prizes to be given away to the winning participants. Definitely , it will attract more students and encourage them in sports.

          We hope the school authorities will cooperate and take some actions to overcome the issue the lack of interests of students in sports.
