The role of sports in  school has been a controversial topic for many years. Some say students need to focus more on their academics and forget about sports, while others say school should be fun and sports make it so.

Large number of  studies have shown that the benefits of participating in a sport far outweigh any potential risk.

One of the major concerns of students spending time participating in sports is that they take away from important class time, and they can also provide the student with unnecessary stress. Often, student athletes are attempting to balance sports, difficult classes, social lives, family time, and several other obligations.

Removing sports from the equation would free up students’ lives and make for a potentially less stressful environment. However, studies show the benefits of sports on student athletes are greatly beneficial to the overall well-being of the student.

Students who played sports exhibited either improved academic scores, or they maintained their current level of academic grading.

Overall, studies show that students who play sports do not allow their commitment to their team to affect their commitment to their education. As mentioned, grades often improve for the student athlete.

Another benefit to playing high school sports is that athletes also tend to have increased self-confidence which can be beneficial both on and off the field.

Our Hasti Public school’s survey reveals that children participating in various sports have their academics  either improved or remained the same and did not suffer due to the time commitment of sports.

Our Hasti Public school is renowned for its  excellent performance at National , State and  district level and holds  record of  producing large number of  sports persons( Boys and Girls) who have  represented in different school games , namely fencing , cricket and many other  at state and  National level .

Hasti Public School ,Dondaicha ,one of the best schools in Maharashtra has sports complex spread over area of 4.5 acre and  is equipped with advanced sports material for various games .school has 400 meter track*andother facilities for various track and field events. *HASTI PUBLIC SCHOOL’S SPORTS COMPLEX HAS  (standardised  courts for   Basket ball , lawn tennis , volley ball , cricket ,foot ball and hockey in addition to courts for Kabbadi, khokho, archery . school has facility of squash , snooker ,  Billiards , table tennis and Badminton court.

However It is unfortunate that these two critical aspects of education, *academics and athletics, tend to be pitted against each other than to  realize for what they are – *sports and Academics are the pillars  that work together to create the moral fibre of today’s youth.

Research also clearly shows that it is exercise, activity, proper sleep, and a healthy diet that grow brain cells and promote learning – more so than study extra hours after school. 

Students need to be physically active to develop cognitively, balance emotional well being, and to be better prepared for the academically challenging environment they have in school. 

So the questions should not be academics or sports, *but *ACADEMICS AND SPORTS * that lead to better overall growth and performance all around for learners.
