what sports did you cats do in school?
    #7632598 - 11/13/07 08:47 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

and what sort of costs did it incur (registration fees, equipment, tournament fees, etc)? did you participate through your school or through private organizations, or both? how hardcore were you about it?

in high school, i identified myself as a wrestler. well that, and skittles. but they were one in the same. i was the wrestler with rainbow colored hair that would kick the shit out of the unsuspecting. seriously... for nearly all my sophomore year, and the first part of my junior year, opponents were always underestimating me because i had like 5 or 6 colors in my hair. until i went to states. then they learned.

i also ran cross country for 3 years, and track for 1, but it was only to get/stay in shape for wrestling.

financial costs were like $100 shoes for each sport, every two years or so. also, sometimes tourneys would cost like $10-20 to participate.

so what about you kids? did you do any sports? was it a huge factor in your identity as it was mine, or was it really just something to keep you active?

if anybody actually replies, it's entirely likely i may use the info in my term paper.

BOXING SON!!! THE ONLY SPORT!

Shit cost me a fortune though, but I can beat some ass if needed. I miss it, i'm too lazy to put that many hours in the gym these days.

I would rather drink beer.

Equipment is expensive. I definitely had to drop money on that(over and over), I played in both off seasons, so I would pay indoor team fees and such. I payed for extra practices and things, not lessons per say, but more like other coaches for things. I also went to soccer camps. It mainly took a lot of time. But I think all in all it was a really healthy thing to do and I think I perform better overall when I'm pretty busy.

I did wrestling in middle school
freshman year I did swim team, I had been involved in swimteams since I was like 7 but after freshman year I stopped. I was pretty damn good though. costs were minimal, suit for a season: 30 bucks or so, good goggles 35 or so
probably 70 a season
wasnt a factor in my identity really at all, it was something I did among a lot of other things

I was mainly a skater for quite a while I was younger, never got uber talented at it but it was always fun.

Then I got heavily into basketball. I ended up being a starting forward/center for a few years in school, really talented actually. It drove the girls crazy for me. I dated every cheerleader in the school practically. And it was fun to be part of a team.

Then I quit the team to play in a psychedelic band and use drugs instead. No more sports after that really.

I used to play tennis a bit in high school but I never made our school team because it is ridiculously good. After I didn't make the team freshman year I kind of stopped playing altogether. I haven't played a whole lot since then although I would still say I like the sport. In fact it was the only sport I was kind of good at. I never really liked sports at all though. I always sucked and people made fun of me so I just didn't like it.

I played baseball from the time I was 6 until I was 19. In the early years I played 2nd and 3rd. As I got stronger I moved to short and I pitched. I played for my high school which cost nothing. I played American Legion in the summers which also cost nothing as we were sponsored by our local post. I played AAU in the fall which usually cost about $150-300 or so depending on what team I played with. All in all I played baseball about nine to ten months out of the year. I also played with and against some of the best players in the state of South Carolina.

As far as equipment goes we would buy a package in high school that would give us cleats, batting gloves, warm-ups, etc...whatever you wanted basically. My glove was about $200 and aluminum bats are pretty expensive too, about $200.

I was pretty hardcore into baseball and I still love the sport. I could have played in college but by the time I was done with high school I was too burned out. But right before I stopped playing I went to St. Augustine, FL for an AAU Fall National Championships at Flagler College and we won. So that was pretty cool.

i tried track just to get in better shape and i ended up failing it, apparently he was catching me and my friends ditching every day but he never bothered to tell us, so surprise surprise, a giant F on my report card.

I played football for 2 years, when I was a junior I switched to running, drug running that is. That was the end of my athletic career, I realized you can get way bigger rushes from selling and doing drugs. probably my downfall. I've successfully worked my way back into sobriety and legitimacy in the last year. I'm feeling pretty good about that. After 5 years of being completely obliterated on opiates and cocaine, it was a tough battle. But I succeeded, after 2 boughts of failed rehab, friends OD'ing and dying.

I played Hockey. It was obvious i played hockey, and it was known i was the killer on defence, but no it didn't play a role in my "image".

It was fun,i got to hit people,fast paced. it's the only team sport I care for.


oh yea. it was technically Private league,but 80% of the league was school kids,so you know. I don't remember the cost. It was mostly equipment money. I had records for most time spent in the penalty box and the most sticks broken each season,those sticks add up. I remember games where I'd brake sticks and i would have to have my dad Go buy a new one in the middle of the game and cut it down in the parking lot,rush it back in. I'd tape it up during stints of the line.

Oh, there was more to the question

Costs were avergae I guess

IDentity wise, of course it did, I don't think anyone who played sports can say they didn't play a factor in molding them

I lived right next to the highschool I attended, so the track and field girls would run by my house everyday in big groups. Hottest sport chicks by far were the girls who could run like that, amazing legs, pony tails bouncing up and down. Sadly I only dated one of them, she had an amazing body, legs that were so fit, so healthy, perfect ass, perfect everything.... she was the only one of the track girls i met that didnt mind dating the schools acid dealer.:)
