OPINION - DMHS Needs a Floor Hockey Team, by Raiden McClure

Please enjoy this opinion article from a student in DMHS's "Introduction to Journalism" class.

Middle school should have co-ed floor hockey because it's for everybody and everybody can play instead of playing basketball. Some people don't like basketball and not as many people participate when we play it. Sports are good for kids and we should be able to have sports for everybody in the school.

We have no co-ed sports in middle school where we can play games against other schools. I think we should have the ability to play against other schools and play a sport that everybody can play instead of just some people playing it. Students deserve to have more opportunities to play co-ed sports. Kids in school should have a choice if they want to play sports in school like hockey and many others. Even if they have no experience, they should be able to join teams and learn.

Also, it would make more people interested in sports so we could have more sports in the school instead of just not having any sports. And if we get a team together then we could probably try to play against other schools. And we could look like and we would finally have something interesting for students to do in school. No experience needed.
