Do any schools recognize their FIRST teams as sports?

I know the earlier years i was in it, it was seen more as a time consuming club, where many people understood the physical and mental demands to be a part of the team, and they knew it wasnt for them.

Yea... the classes at our school seem to get more and more snobbish/anti-FIRST as they go... :::cries:::

I would rather be in FIRST and regarded as a 'nerd' or whatever than get a ton of recognition from my classmates for being the star of a sports team. I understand that FIRST is for me and sports are for others - too bad the converse is rarely understood.

(Then of course there are the cool people that belong to both sports teams AND FIRST!!)
