[kobayashi]

i played golf and soccer primarily in my early years. at the time of high school i dropped soccer and picked up on football which i played only during high school.

now i play golf more than anything else but i also play indoor soccer and hockey(not a very good skater though so it's usually of the street variety)

 

[Foxxern]

Played lots of baseball and soccer, and dabbled a bit in basketball. Now it's basically soccer and the occasional trip to the links for a game of golf.

These are sports I played if "jazz" is a sport:
Kick the can
Smeer the queer or kill the guy with the ball (I know this is not PC, but that's what the name of the game was called - it is not meant to be durogatory in ANY way - kids ARE evil - and often, I was the "queer" so

)
Freeze Tag
Red light, green light
7-up

[BabyGrace]

ice skating and ballet, the latter which I was good at but hated, sadly

also soccer briefly but I could never understand the idea of positions so I just didn't move

hence it didnt last that long.

ive been swimming since I was eight and I gradually gave up everything else for that sport

I've always been slightly annoyed that the schools/colleges over here didn't embrace more US based sports..real shame..

[MissZooropa]

Not many very seriously but here's my list:

Golf
Floorball
Basketball
Horsebackriding

I really miss the floorball. I have my own horse nowadays so I'm riding almost every day and compete some in showjumping. That's about it when it comes to me and sports. I love to watch on TV though.

 

[Angela Harlem]

What's floorball?
I'm the same as you BG, I never understood the positions either and always got yelled at by the pig-dog captain to "get back to my position". I must have been a defender or something. I'd then entertain myself for the rest of the game by muttering about my lost position and mumbling if anyone had seen it anywhere. A few times I got the ball though by asking the other player if they had seen it at which they would stop dumbfounded and look at me like I had 3 heads allowing me to sneak it away from them. I only lasted one season.

 

[Saracene]

None,

A fun game.

Sorry, just had to.

It's a little bit like hockey in the foundament but it's indoor, no ice, with a ball, it's fast and nicer then hockey. It's a rather new sport, the international federation was founded 1986 and it's not much spread yet. It's really big here in Sweden though, every kid plays it and in gym class in school it's very common. It's an easy game to learn and all you need is runningsshoes and a stick. Here is a link to the US site and the international federation's : http://www.usfloorball.net/Rules_&_Play.htm http://www.floorball.org/

I wonder if it will take off over here...
