Create a fair girls wrestling practice schedule
The Issue
Being a high school wrestler is tough enough, but it becomes nearly impossible when logistics and scheduling details are left unaddressed. As a member of the girls' wrestling team, I find myself and my teammates in a challenging situation. Our recently revised practice times are forcing many of us to juggle impossible schedules, impacting both our academic performance and personal commitments.
For girls like me who rely on rides home after school, this new schedule presents a daunting issue. Practices often stretch into the late evening, and finding a safe and reliable way home at night is not always feasible. This not only poses a safety concern but also leads to many of us spending hours waiting after school. Furthermore, some of us have younger siblings. Our practice times conflict with their schedules, making picking up or dropping off family members nearly impossible.
Academically, the situation is just as distressing, if not more so. Honors and AP classes demand our focus and dedication, yet the current practice schedule limits our study time significantly. Wrestling is a passion, but our education is a priority, and juggling both should not feel like a compromise. The added stress of managing academics with an ill-considered practice schedule takes an emotional toll on many of us.
These are issues that, unfortunately, were not considered when the schedule was revised. We believe the administration has the power to implement a fairer and more balanced practice schedule, taking into account the realities faced by its student-athletes daily. Fortunately, solutions exist that can address everyone's needs. One possibility includes staggering practice times to accommodate transportation issues and academic responsibilities, ensuring fairness and inclusion in different groups.
We ask for understanding and quick action to amend this situation. Let's prioritize the wellness, safety, and academic success of all student-athletes requesting a revis reconsideration from the administration to forge a new practice schedule. We urge you to consider the voices of student-athletes trying to succeed in both sports and studies.
Sign this petition to help us achieve a fair schedule that honors both our passion for wrestling and our commitment to academic achievements.
