Club Activities

In my hometown, all students at elementary and junior high schools are required to belong to "club activities" offered from their schools. Unlike a typical American community, teachers here take care of students through club activities after school hours. Students practice pretty much everyday except for Sundays. Accordingly, teachers have to come to school pretty much everyday and coach students until the sunset. Many of the teachers actually lack expertise in activities (e.g., softball, baseball, soccer, tennis, etc.) that they have to coach students about. As a result, teachers get stressed out and students often hurt themselves by trainings that are not based on sports science. At present, club activities in my hometown is harmful for both teachers and students.
