Cork city has gone to the dogs.

Not excusing them but I doubt they do much for the kids who vandalised the pitches. I doubt they go training tbphwy.

Well known fact- majority of kids actively involved in sports stay out of trouble

Vast majority of kids not involved in sports are missing out on so much
Social interaction- future connections- expectations etc
Some parents are just too bone idle lazy to bring/ support/help their kids to enjoy sports
But have no problem propping up a bar counter for hours weekly

Repped.

Buying gear, trekking to training twice a week, matches. It's a big commitment for parents.

It's good upto a point, if its interfering with school work it should be dropped.

As I said grand as long as its not interfering with school work.

Who cares about kids 'making contacts' if they end up doing a shit leaving cert.

It can be used as an incentive, knuckle down or no training or matches.

Those of us who didn't finish education see the importance of stressing this to them.

Anything extra curricular can go if their grades are suffering.

Sport is good of course for social skills and fitness but it's not more important than them doing well in school.
