My brother is on his high school basketball team， and I am the best hitter on my middle school volleyball team. Both of us have benefited from sports. In fact， one of the most common ways for kids to take part in sports is to join a team.

Playing sports is good for both the body and mind. Everyone knows that exercise helps people stay fit. For example， swimming helps your heart work better and it also helps build muscle （肌肉） strength. In addition， school athletes often have a healthy diet. I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables and avoid fatty foods because I must stay in great condition.

Being on a team allows students to enjoy a healthier social life. They often make more friends and can be some of the most popular kids in school. Since joining the basketball team， my brother has made friends with a lot of his teammates and has showed more interest in spending time with them.

Kids who take part in school teams sometimes earn college scholarships （獎學金）. My brother’s friend， Justin， played football in high school. His family did not have money to send him to college.
