Fact Friday #25- Sports II

Young People and Sports-

In my school, St. Patrick School, they have club sports. However, the table that gives these is in Spanish, so I will do my best.
On Mondays they have girls soccer, futbol e. media, and basketball. On Tuesdays they offer girls rhythmic gymnastics, basic soccer, and volleyball. For Wednesdays there is basketball, artistic gymnastics, and handball. Next, the club sports on Thursdays are hockey, basic soccer, badminton, and volleyball. Finally, for Fridays they offer handball, hockey, and girls rhythmic gymnastics. The Cerro ñielol also offers sports.


Sports Opportunities for Girls and Women-

In Chile, girls have a decent amount of sporting opportunities, as you can see above. However, we are expected to stay home more and not do as many sports as boys. So, it is not a requirement for girls like it is for boys, but it is allowed. However, there is no law like Title 9 in Chile. So there are typically more sports offered in school for boys than for girls.

  1. I'd like to disagree with you on your point of expenctancy for women, it's a personal decition, however Chile has many women athetes and sportsmans, I am one of the men that dont like to do sorts, I actually like to cook, clean and do the chores, housework, it's fun, but i'm not expected to go out and practise a sport, plus St. Patrick School is quite conservative and segregated, eveidentiated by separate exercises and averages for men and women in a class, furthermore Centenario School of Temuco (my previous establishment) had sme of the best female soccer and basketball team of the region.
