Athletics is the one arena in which they can compete as equals to the others, and possibly win. It's the same in real life: many professional athletes who make huge salaries came up from poor neighborhoods and gangs, but someone discovered their athletic talent and they were able to get out.

That was the main thing that Ponyboy and Darry could do without fighting and they could put all of their effort into a spor or atheletics.

Sports kept Ponyboy and Dally out of most trouble and it was a good way for them to compete without getting into harmful competitions. It was the thing that made their brother like bond muxh stronger, without sports they wouldn't have much in commen.
