    Basketball. Used to be very good, but ended up distracted, and some other issues. Now I only play recreational ball (pick-up games at parks.)

    Hey as long as you enjoy it, who cares if you're good? I love beach volleyball, though I can't say that I've ever played on an actual football team (american football, if that's whatcha mean lol). I pwn at street ball, though tongue.gif

    I love pick up games! Much more fun than actual leagues, in my opinion!

    ultimate frisbee, and i'm fucking good (mainly 'cause i'm fast)
    football occasionally, i play predominantly as a striker
    badminton for college
    tennis for kicks
    i love rock climbing if you call that a sport
    i also enjoy swimming but i'm no master
    POOL and table football !! lol
    i play squash occasionally too...
    i like to go hiking+camping a lot but that's not really a sport either...

    i used to play softball for school, mainly because i'm a leftie so fielders get confused, and i'm hella fast so i can score home runs pretty easy
    and since you mentioned it i did archery for half my first year at uni... but then they moved venue and i couldn't find it so i quit sad.gif

    Ultimate pwns when you have people who actually know how to play- sadly, it's not too popular over here =/ For football, I usually play as a midfielder cuz I'm fast and can hold my pace for a long time, though I make a mean striker when they need me lol. I also play as a keeper from time to time. Billiards, table tennis, foosball- all awesome, though I SUCK at foosball XD I am a HUGE outdoors person, so I love camping, hiking, fishing, horseback riding, backpacking, climbing, all that jazz smile.gif

    I played Soccer, was all-state my Junior and Senior year, but that's about all my accomplishments when it came to sports. I played some Tennis and Track in school, but I was about average in those sports.

    I've played soccer for 12 years, been on the Ontario team 3 times but can't afford it anymore o.O
    Also been playing basketball for 10 years, but never played for a provincial team. Highest is city team I believe.
    I run cross country in highschool, made it to the finals in all of Ontario but hurt my ankle and didn't run (grade 9, didn't run last year)
    I also run track at highschool, only ever made it to Northern Ontario though, (Nossa)
    I played volleyball in grade 8 but highschool doesn't have it o.O

    I play squash on a regular basis, I'm ungraded but can regularly beat E graders so I'm around an E grade, maybe D2 if I really pushed myself.

    Used to play soccer but never really understood the rules and just got hurt a lot.



    Yeah I'm pretty much clueless when it comes to squash- never played it to be honest =/ Soccer's the kind of game that either clicks or is utterly confusing. Luckily for me, it clicked biggrin.gif

    Ohhh is that what it is? I may have seen it played once or twice, but never attempted it myself. I like raquetball? If it's what I think it is, squash looks similar to raquetball.

    I know what ya mean, I felt the same about Soccer, never really got into Basketball though, because i'm terrible at shooting and dribbling. I played with friends alot though because in North Carolina, where i was at that was all we played.

    My college has 3 teams, the A team which i play endzone on are unbeaten throughout the uni, we beat the uni team 10-0 and we regularly go to regionals and nationals, it's really awesome having a club of about 100 players! We even have our own discs and our kit is fucking amazing biggrin.gif (i think i posted a pic on codex somewhere...)

    That's awesome, i love the outdoors biggrin.gif I've not done much fishing... or horse riding, mainly because i don't know anyone that's into them, but i have an MLT qualification and so does my bro so we do quite a bit of hiking. My bro is a warden(?) in the air cadets, so i tag along with them on some of the expeditions they go on, and we have our own mountaineering society at college too biggrin.gif

    I enjoy short distance races because i can usually win no problem, longer distances and my stamina gets the better of me... i did a 1600 race and basically ran at my top speed for 1200 meters and then crawled over the finish line... i then proceeded to throw up quite violently lol

    Ah forgot about lacrosse! Fun stuff- never been on a team, but I have lacrosse-crazed friends who've taught me the game. Oh! Left out surfing too! I'm pretty fond of surfing, wake boarding, water skiing, all that stuff.

    I know what you mean, I had to run 2 1600 races as fast as I could. I puked so much after running those, I ran like 5:30 mile both time. That's real good for me too.

    Been there, done that! Not fun at all. I'm a natural sprinter, so it took a while to learn how to run distance, but I've improved a lot.

    You're one of these people that does everything and is good at it all too eh!! I actually learnt a bit of surfing as i have a house in Jersey, they have massive tidal shifts so we get some decent waves quite often biggrin.gif I prefer body boarding though, way easier!
