Re: Explain America to a Non-American.

Is school sports really such a big thing in America as the movies make it out?

It varies. For the most part, probably not quite as big as movies make out, but still pretty important. And there are places where it really is that important - high school basketball in Indiana and the rest of the Midwest, high school football in Texas and the rest of the South.

do the kids all have to choose one sport to do after school? Do they just do the one sport all the time?


So each sport lasts for a season. You'll have football (American) or sometimes soccer in the fall; you'll have basketball in the winter; and you'll have baseball and softball in the spring. There are also other sports but those are sort of the big classic popular sports that everyone cares about.

And these are all mostly competitive teams. Kids can choose whether or not they want to try out for sports, and which sports they want to try out for. And if they try out, they might or might not make the team. If you're one of the best athletes in your year, you might play football, basketball and baseball. Or you might decide that you only care about football and not go out for any of the other sports. Or you might not play any sports at all. It all kinda just depends.
