Sports in an American high school.

In the country of America, almost all the students (75%-80%) practice their sport in their high school. Rare are those who practice their sport in club, whereas in France only 10% of the students practice a sport at school.

The high school sport after class is really popular in America, it's really a part of their culture. Sports are practiced in the afternoon. After finishing the classes and before their training, the students usually study for about an hour which allows them to do, or at least start their homework. They often have work to do for the next day and finally they go to their training by feet. Training can lasts an hour and a half, such as running training but can also lasts two and a half hours as for volleyball training.   

For all these sports activities the school has huge infrastructures such as an American football field, a soccer field, an Athlete track or a volleyball room. All these infrastructures were built especially for the school and for its teams.

As soon as one of the different teams have a game, most of the students of the high school go to the game and support their team. During every game we have seen, the atmosphere was just amazing especially at the football game. The supporters were shouting and applauding, making lot of noise. So it was a great experience to see the differences between sports in France and in America.
