Athletes missing classes for away games

<p>No, she didn’t cheer in high school but did other sports. She is good with time management and has managed well when she did need to miss class. In high school however, if they missed a class it was generally at the end of the day for a meet that was occurring that evening. I can’t think of a single time they left the day before for an event except for maybe some rowing regattas that were in different states and started at 8 am on Saturday. Even then they left after class was over on Friday.</p>

<p>Her concern wasn’t so much with missing class, but rather why the need to miss class when the event was so far in the future. Aubs1126 explained well why the football team leaves early and in her case we were glad to find out the cheer team isn’t leaving as early as originally stated. I guess she will find out what they will do all day on Saturday when she spends the time this weekend.</p>
