Freshman should have the same benefits as the other classmen in high schools. What are they supposed to do-join rec councils? They aren't set up for those age groups. Surely we can find other ways to cut the budget without it affecting the students.

Many freshman aren't ready to play at the JV level, so they will be cut from teams and many will not try out for basketball the following year, furthermore increasing the number of sedentary adolescents in our community. Indoor track is one of the best forms of exercise the schools offer, and cutting it would be a huge mistake.

Lets think about what our children would do then with their spare time. Would we rather spend the money on something that brings positive feedback or try and save money but in return have many more negative results? Do not take our childrens chance of havign more self confidence, higher self esteem, more repsect for themselves and others and making positive friendships. Think about it!!!

Make every Phy Ed. teacher coach at least one sport and assist in another sport as a part of their regular salaried duties.

Cut the number of guidance counselors in half at all high schools.

Losing freshman support will put kids at even greater disadvantage when competing for college scholarships compared with other students from districts that support and train their young athletes.

My kids have been doing sports since the age of 5 yrs. old. A whole year lost makes a huge difference in how an athlete performs. I feel we need to keep freshman sports alive. If they are part of the high school community they should benefit from all that high school has to offer.

DO NOT ELIMINATE FRESHMAN SPORTS - very important to keep kids off drugs, or don't we care if we bring up drug addicts or not ?

The kids that are involved in these activities are doing positive things, not hanging out in bad places and getting in trouble and doing bad things. Why are you taking something positive and turning it into a potentially negative situation for the children?

It gives every freshman the opportunity to play because the following year they have to try out and they might not make the team. He loves the physical activity and the teamwork and playing a sport with all his high school friends. Dont take that away.

It gave them an opportunity to feel connected to their school, not to mention all the rewards that come from being an active participant in a team sport. The thought of not offering this opportunity to future freshmen makes me very sad for the student, the school, and the school system image. If you want to keep the kids involved, keep

Getting rid of freshman sports in Carroll County would be taking away a chance for our kids to learn to play as a team. It removes the physical activity from their lives that keeps them healthy, and is detrimental to school spirit. It also denies the kids the opportunity to become more well rounded individuals. Big, BIG mistake to do away with freshman sports. If you need to cut the budget, please look elsewhere.

Our society has become very sedentary which is an unhealthy lifestyle. Sports is a great way to promote physical activity which is good for overall health. Freshman sports provide an immediate avenue to connect with a group of students with similar interests.
