We talk a lot about sport, but which ones do we play ourselves

Remove all ads!

No, these Boards are so multicultural that we have people who talk about:

1) Association Football (Soccer)
2) Rugby Union Football
3) Rugby League Football
4) Australian Rules Football
5) Gaelic Football
6) American Football (Gridiron)

 

hmm they call rugby football? canadians just call it rugby

 

If you said "footie" in New Zealand, we would assume you were referring to rugby union.

 

Netball, hockey, tennis, badminton, athletics and a tiny amount of football. Athletics primarily though.

 

I golf 2-3 times a week. I walk and carry my bag.

 

I played football in my younger years, made it to a youth selection of the local pro club, but i wasn't very serious in those years, so i kinda flushed my chances down the toilet. I had a very lively sexlife though, so i guess that makes up for the loss.

All in all i played football for 12 years, i quit as an active player at the age of 21, because i couldn't combine it anymore with visiting my favourite club. I had to play a lot at the same time they kicked off at the stadium, and i hated missing a match of my hometown club.

I also did some kickboxing for about a year. Nothing fancy, mostly training and a bit of sparring, i never played any official matches.

Nowadays i do a lot of lifting, mostly cans and bottles. I can keep that up for an amazing long period of time without falling from my seat.

 

Soccer and Basketball

 

I run cross country, but I played soccer for a while when I was in middle school and elementary school.

 

Competitively I play:
-Basketball (open A, school team)
-Conoeing (school, captain and under 18 state champion (most points scored in under 18 races in the season - and I got a nice heavy cup for it)).
I'm also a swimming instructor (as of the end of last year) and I played table tennis for a club a while back.

 

I used to play soccer competitively and AFL with a few of my friends but now I have laid back and have been sticking to golf (I have NOT become really lazy and hire carts out for every game, I still walk all of the 9 hole rounds and most of the 18 hole rounds)
I used to like going for long swims when I'm out in the boat but I have stopped that with the reported increase in bull shark numbers in the bay.
And paintball. Gotta love paintball

 

I play both Association and American football as well as basketball, volleyball, ultimate frisbee and racketball. For exercise I do martial arts and running. Running = but it has to be done.

 

Ultimate frisbee? You've got to be having a laugh with that one surely.

 

"Ultimate Frisbee" is as kickass a name for a sport as "Snakes on a Plane" is for a movie.

 

I wouldn't mock it. The only sport that runs more (besides the obvious Cross-country) is football (soccer). Frisbee is constant running untill someone scores, in which you get to walk back to your goal and then run again. It takes a lot of talent to through a frisbee accurately long distances with speed, especially in high wind.

I play it, and I'm proud of it.

 

I know it sounds like that BA. The game is not some extreme sport where people are doing super acts or putting their health in peril but then again I didn't name it.

The game is a real blast to play though and a good work out if you have a fairly large field and not too many people. Like Saber says, the game rocks.

 

I can't believe I haven't answered this one yet. In any case I play tennis and badminton and do some running. The military has naturally seen quite a significant rise in fitness for me and I'll try to do my best keeping it up.
