    I'm assuming probably everyone, but..List the sports that you play in real life. I played football for the first time in my life for my middle school team this year. I started at OLB but I hated it. I don't really like football, but I just wanted to try it.I play some basketball but unfortunately I didn't my the school team... Again...I played hockey 3 years ago, and I liked it a good bit, but it was too expensive and I had to drop out.My real sport is baseball. I'm good at it and I LOVE it. I play year round. I play little league from April-June, Travel from June-August, Fall from August-October, and then I do hitting camps, clinics, home hitting off tee, throwing into net, etc. in the winter.

    I play. Just had a pick up game at my friends house that lasted 2 hours (basketball)Basketball - I played on my high school team as a freshman. Played PG. We went 15-5 and won our tournament.Tennis - Don't play it too often, maybe once a month? My entire family is really into, but my sister's got scholarships at D-1 colleges for it, and my dad played on the "minor" tour...so I guess I just grew up on it. For the amount I play, I consider myself very good.Golf - My dad played this in college, and ever since I started LAST JUNE, I've been addicted! Goign to try out for the golf team here for high school a week or two. ill tell you all how that goes. I shoot low 40's on 9 holes, low 90's on 18. isnt that great but like I said I have under a year experience on the course.That's all I really play, ON A TEAM. I play a ton of football pickup games, and a few baseball pickup games here and there.

    Tennis is my sh*t. I was ranked pretty highly in New England, haven't played a tournament since December tough because of my ACL. I got into college essentially for tennis, even though they can't give me scholarships since it's D2, the coach was on my side. Unfortunately I tore my ACL and F*cked that up, probably won't be able to play fall freshman year, and I'm gonna work my ass off for spring freshman year.

    I used to play alotve sports, football, basketball, baseball, even volleyball. Well, I found out Volleyball isnt the best sport for a teenage boy, im horrible at baseball. I used to be a really good football player playing linebacker. Played it since I was 7, got named to allstar team(SYS, sortve like a league for younger players) when I was 11, at 13 I was Homecoming King, played in Middle School and was starting and named a captain...then it went down hill. I broke my ankle(which makes me walk with a limp now) then I had surgery last year and I cant play because of my sternum(spelling?). So I strictly stick to basketball....I might be thinking too highly of myself, but I felt I couldve had a really good football career.

    Basketball- I have always been a starter, I love the sport.Football- I played a bit of tight end, I didn't do bad but it's not my type of sport.Baseball- I was a mean hitter, I could hit home runs pretty well. I sucked at it though, I can't catch, throw, or play the field.Boxing- I have been boxing for awhile, it keeps my strong.Soccer- I'm horrible at it, never played it.Wrestling- I was a BEAST at wrestling, I won so many trophy's it's unreal. It began to interfere with basketball though, so I had to cut it loose.Hockey- See soccer.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I play little league from April-June, Travel from June-August, Fall from August-October, and then I do hitting camps, clinics, home hitting off tee, throwing into net, etc. in the winter.</div>The Little League World Series is 5 minutes away from my house...

    Basketball: I play for my old school in a pretty competetive league. It's basically full of sophomores, but were a freshman team. We get raped every game, but our team sucks anyways except me and one or two other guys..Football: I played for the first time, played some at WR, but mostly at FS. I did pretty well, and last game I forced a fumble.. so it was a good seasonBaseball: Is my sport..I used to play it all year around. I've played for my high school team since 7th grade. At tryouts this year I had an alright tryout not my best because it was insanely cold. Even though I had a so-so tryout you could see I was better than some guys that tryed out. The day we found out who made it, I was not on the JV or Freshman list..I had been cut because of grades.. Which killed me, felt like crap, its all I could really think about for like a week. So I talked to the coaches, and they like me but my grades are just awful..So my laziness finally comes back and bites me in the ass. Now I'm playing Spring baseball at my old park, then travel in the summer, than summer-league at my high school..

    Basketball- My favorite sport but not my best sport, I played JV this year but got barely any minutes the whole season.Tennis- I'm only a freshmen and I'm on varsity this year. Before I startedt playing everyday for practice I used to only have one lesson a week and I've been told quite a few times I have huge potential for that sport and could possibly get a scholarship if I start playing a lot more so I'm hoping I'll start to get more of a love for it now that I'm playing everyday. I play football a lot with my friends but I'm not interested in playing for my school.

    So you could be in middle school, and play sports for the high school?That's odd.

    If you're good enough you can play high school ball when you're younger. I played a few games for 9th grade when I was in 7th-8th.
