I skated in high school. I hated school sports, but I played competitive league soccer from near birth until 10th grade and raced road bikes in 11th for my lbs.

I was pissed when I found out my school had a golf team :( I would have been on that had I known at the time.

Baseball and hockey for me in High School. I always thought Football was stupid - you practice 5 days a week to play one game each week........that to me does not sound fun.

Started playing hockey when I was 4, played some Junior A, still play competitive today. Dad got me hooked racing snowmbiles when I was 3, still race to today, that's the ultimate rush, 500 feet in less than 5 seconds can bring a grin to anyone's face. :) Golfed quit a bit, MTB'd, played some ball, and waterski/wakeboarded

Wow. Amazing how carelessness and inattention on the part of a parent can have such consequences... Thinking that we have two chances to have a good adult/child relationship, be sure to take the opportunity to make that moment right with your own son. There are a number of those moments I will have to make right with my nieces/nephews (or children) one of these days too.
[OK, chick moment over]

Back to the thread, it's interesting the number of you who were in wrestling! Wrestling seems like one of the few "individual" sports that's as intense as mtn biking.

I didn't wrestle. :rolleyes:
I didn't really play team sports till college and intramurals - soccer and softball. As a young kid I was too clumsy to do much... always running into things. Not much has changed. I'm still a train wreck waiting to happen.

The only organized sport I ever got suckered into was soccer. I played for the traveling league for many years. I was more into rock climbing, skate boarding and XC MTB.

Avoiding the nine to five
Soccer, Volleyball, Track, and Cross Country were my sports. Played baseball freshman year, but I was so small I never got any time to play.

I'd have loved to have wrestled or done crew. Two sports that I've got a ton of respect for.

Football and tennis on the team. Lineman :)

i played a lot more basketball than anything but stuck to streetball as I could earn some money that way. Highschool ball generally produced wusses :)
