Sports?
#1
Ave,
Well everyone, I ave a question for everyone. When you were in high school, what , if any, sports did you participate in? I personaly am involved in swimming and wrestling. And in New York wrestling is the closest you can get to combat in sports (boxing, ect are not allowed in schools anymore).

Cricket. I never ended up as opening bat though. Normally I batted number eleven and kept the score books. When fielding I used to field at Fine Leg, which guaranteed lots of running around and not a hope of a catch.

Outside the cricket season I used to play chess

Rowing, because it was the only thing on offer that did not involve a ball. I hate ball sports. I also suck at them, but my hatred is largely unrelated. I also dislike watching them (Oh, did I mention it's 2006 and I'm in Germamny....?)

Oh dear. Poor you. Well, perhaps you can use the time everyone else uses for watching tv for making some wonderful piece of equipment?

My favorite sport has been baseball, although it is rarely known in my country I used to play in the baseball section of futbol club Barcelona.
Pitching was what I liked to do, but my arm was like a fool rubber... :lol:

Nowadays, I play indoor football (soccer), just sometimes... when we can gather some folks... :wink:
