          Some high school students just focus on competitive sports and don't do very well in academic studies. This is a big problem, and one way to fix it would be to require a higher grade point level to participate in competitive sports.

          In schools, especially high schools, it is important to get good grades. Normally, you want to get good grades because it shows your understanding of the subject, and you want to show your understanding of the subject because you want to show you have learned something in school. A grade is probably the best available method to measure your understanding.  The required grade point level should be a 3 because anything below that is below standard, and anything above that might be too hard for most students to achieve. For achieving average, which isn't easy for most students, students should be rewarded with the opportunity of participating in competitive sports. 

          Students' individual grade point level should be at a certain place before they could participate in competitive sports. Most students enjoy competitive sports because they offer a chance to make new friends, exercise, relax, and have fun. People who originally didn't do that well in school but liked sports would now get better grades because they would want to participate in competitive sports, and so they would have to achieve a 3.

          All in all, I think there should be a required grade point level to participate in competitive sports because people like competitive sports, and therefore will be more motivated to get better grades.
