What other sports do you enjoy?

fantastic sport banger, we did that as one of our year 12 PE practicals (along with volleyball) - best year of PE ever…

I can still remember our teacher (who used to join in our games when we had gotten a bit better), during one of the games - the score was fairly close, and quite a few of us were getting right in to it - now bearing in mind that it was still early enough in the semester that the goalkeeping duties would get swapped around so that everyone had a chance to play there - this particular time it unfortunately (for her) happened to be one of the…less confident girls…

so you can imagine what happened - our teacher (still right in to the game) busts through a couple of defenders, jumps through the air to score the winner, and launches a full pelt throw - straight at this poor girl - who tries to get her hands up, but just cops it square in the nose…

I still remember the look on his face in the air as he was throwing the ball, when the realisation came that it wasn’t one of the guys in the net, but a terrified and probably now scarred for life girl…needless to say the game came to an abrupt halt…

this sounds like that volleyball scene in meet the parents!

 

I actually don’t and haven’t for many years participated in anything that is traditionally considered a sport other then snowboarding and the occasional ski. I have always (pretty consistently) attended a gym of some variety and I snowboard as much as I possibly can every year - sometimes this is around 100 days/year sometimes it is only 10.

I’m aware this is abnormal but I’m also kind of proud of it.

 

GO SNOWBOARDING (AND THE OCCASIONAL SKI) !!!

 

Soccer, surfing ,Cycling, a bit of couching!

 

Not to much I don’t like but my personal favourites would be:

Boarding, go figure
Football (Soccer)
Rugby League, and it’s many varieties like touch, oztag ect
Golf
Squash

But yeah, am keen to give what every one else is doing a go, just get out there and have fun.
