How many athletes do you know, wears their hair down when playing a sport? There aren't too many when reaching the 5th grade. Little kids for some reason love to play with their hair down, in their face keeping them from seeing. I don't understand why they would want to do that, because what benefit does that bring to the athlete succeeding at the sport?
I would never let my child wear their hair down when playing a sport. There are some circumstances where wearing your hair down is okay, like dance or show choir. Any sports that involve contact or having a quick reaction time should have to be required to tie their hair back in either a bun or a pony tail. When you reach middle school, wearing your hair down in a physical activity is considered weird and different. Playing volleyball with your hair down means there is no way of seeing what is going on. A ball could be coming at you and not even know it, because your hair is in your face blocking your view. You could perform SO much better, by just tying your hair back in a pony tail or a bun.
There are lots of different ways you can wear your hair, especially if you have longer hair. You can have a ponytail, bun, braid, fishtail braid, french braid, french fishtail, pigtail french braids, a ponytail with hair ties going down it, and much more. If someone is worried about their looks while playing, then any of the braids look cool and they could always straighten their hair and put it in a ponytail, but my opinion is that if they are playing a sport they should not really care what their hair looks like while they play. Personally, I do not care what my hair looks like as long as it stays out of my face and is comfortable. For me, buns do not work because they do not stay in and they fall out and get loose, which is not comfortable to play in since it gets in my face. I usually have a ponytail or a braid in when I play.
