We don't have Archery or Cricket.

[Grav]

Xtreme Chess, Ottoman style.

[MightyJoe]

They don't have it cuz its not a sport, jp. Anyway our high school, had baseball, basketball, golf, hockey, and other sports. Never played any, cuz the hockey coach is a jackass.

[Mydogisyourdog]

Football, Wrestling and Rugby. I only do Wrestling to get in shape for Rugby.

[Grav]

How does running around in a garbage bag get you in shape for Rugby, anyway?

[MightyJoe]

Wrestling, is prolly the most physically demand sport you can play. Making weight and all that other shit, unless you suck then it doesn't matter. But if you want to get into great physical shape that is the way to do it.

[Mydogisyourdog]

heh, dude..Wrestling at my school is like state-level competition. Our coaches take shit hella seriously. We lift and run 3-5 miles a day.... and then practice starts. One time, we pissed off our coach and ended up having to do nearly 700 up-downs. We were at it for like an hour. Fuck, it hurts to think about it.

[wilma]

yah im gonna try out for wrestling this year but doesnt start for another 2+ months -_-

[-=Rico-GP=-]

Highschool yeah.
cs.

[Lenny]

Hmm, we do: Rugby, Hockey, Football (Soccer), Cricket, Basketball, Cross-Country.

Who made Cross-country a sport? All you do is run across country for a bit, run through some cow shit, a patch of stinging nettles, and then bang your shins on a low wall. A loada shit cross-country.

[Tyrannicide]

And this is not because Im CANADIAN....or maybe it is.

I play High School Hockey -_- and I am one of thw two goalies. I was on the team last year aswell.

[Hades-Knight]

Im probably gonna do wrestling this year but I gotta see if I can get money for the shoes and headgear =(

[Randuin]

Ordinary Asian shit. ping pong? badminton? hah

[Thanatos]

Basketball, niqqa!

[Randuin]

Yea. What's with everyone playing basketball nowadays. It's making all the asians wanna be black.

[Grav]

(It's because Chinamen have small penises)

[Randuin]

And we wanna be big like the nigguhz :( It's true.

[Lenny]

Don't like basketball, I have bad memoriea of it as well. Batted (right word) ball down owards ground, and brke someones nose. Lots of blood. Hmm.....

Hockey is good. I can play hockey. Great sport. Get to fend people off with a big shtick!

[Mydogisyourdog]

i dont play because im TOO good. It just wouldnt be fair to the NBA stars who work hard for their talent.

[wilma]

Who made Cross-country a sport? All you do is run across country for a bit, run through some cow shit, a patch of stinging nettles, and then bang your shins on a low wall. A loada shit cross-country.

Are you fucking nuts? Cross country is extremely hard dude. You may be thinkin of some pansy ass 3k runs, i got back today from a cross country meet and i had run 7k. Your nuts.

[MightyJoe]

Running, just like soccer, are not sports. Sorry. :(

[Hades-Knight]

Iw ent to see the wrestling coach to ask him how much the shoes & headgear would be......$50 =o !! Guess I won't be wrestling ever =/ since this is my last HS year

[platnum]

I play baseball.

[Slim]

Track, I pole vault and run the 800.

[iceman887]

no tennis??!?!?!!?!? i'm in that though

[Lenny]

Wilma, where about do you live? America, England, Scandinavia? Where? No matter where you are, cross-country is not a sport. It is a however long run across country, not a sport, a punishment against you when you're PE teachers are feeling kinda vicious. 1 whole hour, running around a track, into cow shit, nettles and low walls cannot be classed as a sport. I'm not seeing it's not hard, it is hard, especially the hard dry-stone walls.


Running, just like soccer, are not sports. Sorry.

F.O.O.T.B.A.L.L however, is a sport MightyJoe. Sorry.

[D3V]

I ball, bball.

[Lenny]

What are your thoughts on cross-country D3V?

[Hades-Knight]

You know life is over when you cannot participate on a sports team because you have no money to buy the things needed. I know what I must do....

[Lenny]

Rob a bank! Ha ha ha ha! Really, what must you do?

[Hades-Knight]

Rob a bank! Ha ha ha ha! Really, what must you do?

[Lenny]

Wat on earth is he eating???

[Mydogisyourdog]

shit. i just choked laughing.

anyways, SOCCER (this is an American Board) is a sport, in my opinion. It consists of heavy physical activity, choices, team work and making plays. Making things happen. Cross -country, you just run. what the hell is the coach even for? the cross country coach at our school even says he is useless.

"Yeah, good job mikey, good running."
or
"Run faster" duh

[Xenn]

If you have natural talent you don't need a coach (unless you want to be super-good). However, coaches (ours anyways) lays out a schedule for what you need to run (i.e. distance one day, speed the next, thresholds, hills, etc.). He also sets up the meets, gives announcements, gives personal advice, gives tips for running a race (it's far more complicated than you might think).

I like cross country because we get to go mess around in cool places and it keeps me in good shape.

One thing I've learned from experience is that coaches really are more valuble than you would originally believe. In any sport, just like anything else, you must have knowledge of the sport that you are playing to make yourself good. You must have knowledge on how to play. You must have knowledge on how to train. The coach imparts this knowledge to you. Furthermore, the coach has the job of setting up the training, to encourage you through the training, and he takes care of all the other technical stuff. Last but not least, the coach usually has a way of motivating you to work. I don't know how your coach is, but that's how a good coach should be in my opinion. This applies for any sport I believe, including cross country. Knowledge of how and what to do is more important than raw physical talent.

Let me give you an example. I was up at a park a while back, playing with the normal people there. I usually end up being the youngest kid. Most of the people that are there are 16-25 black kids, I'd say. Some of these kids are exceptional ball players. I mean it's unbelievable what they can do. So the other day, this old (53 years old we found out after we asked his age), 5' 5" white guy with a receding hairline comes in and asks to play with us. We're all thinking, god, this guy can't be serious. Let me tell you something. This guy schooled us. It was embarassing, but amazing at the same time. Not only was he keeping up, he was scoring, passing, and making things happen. He was leading his team to victory. His game wasn't as fun to watch as the kids over there, but he could certainly hang with us. This guy wasn't at all fast, tall, or athletic, but he knew how to play basketball.

[Lenny]

I'm startin to envy you lot, with you coaches. We just have 2 PE teachers, one who is about 6" 3' or so, and kinda like flattens us in basketball, and a weedy little just over 5 footer, who takes us out to the school playing field, in rain that could drown a rat, and just stands there in his nice warm waterproofs, whilst we complete laps in just a short and t-shirt. By god it don't half get cold.

And the rain, this is the rain that falls on you, and gives you a thick layer of rain, meaning you don't get any wetter, you've got more chance of drying off in the rain than getting even wetter, and it keeps you freezing for however longuntil you are sent back inside.

And since Im english, I will use FOOTBALL to talk bout SOCCER, and (lower case) football to talk about (if I ever actually do) your American style rugby.
