"Netball?????"

I'm lookig for boys netball teams in the Wales and West region for under 15's because I love netball and I'm not being big headed but I'm quite good at it. I've been Powys champion twice with 2 different schools. Please someone help.

well if he'll pay for airplane tickets i'll be off like a shot

your cousin in washington?

Man, you need a family reunion!

well from what my cousin in washington says who's seen jordan practice with his team mates MJ hasn't lost the touch at all he's shown some of the old magic. i really do hope he's as good if not better (if you can any better)

Although leaving on a championship winning shot was an incredible and fitting way for him to leave the game, i think continuing playing the game you love until you physically can't keep up (then maybe going on at lower levels, though i don't know how jordan would feel about not being able to dominate) is a much better way to go out of the game, and says a lot more about the guy as a person.

Was it 41 points on the nets though? Incredible. It'll be great to see him match up against some of the guys from the knicks' incredible backcourt though, houston, camby, spree... even though rice is gone, there's still going to be a lot to indicate jordan's chances to be competetive with the likes of iverson, kobe, marbury etc.

oh really oh man gotta watch that then but i thought itv had rights to the basketball well the highlights of it anyway?
what do you think of MJ coming back good or bad? should he have stayed out and go down in history as one of if not the best or risk it all where he might be too old to play in the NBA against newer stars like Carter, Kobe and iverson

Wow, 3 people who play basketball here... 4 if you count that guy who maybe tried to use the letters page of slam as a dictionary but actually can't really read.

Hey, Jordan's return @ knicks is live on bbc, apparently. There'll be a few programs on the night (30th oct), and bbc are talking to american networks to get some more games for the rest of the season.
And i have an essay deadline on 31st, guess i'll start that one now...

i've played netball, good, but i get frustrated with the slow pace and prefer basketball, just my opinion!

yet i didn't say netball takes no skill. i just think basketball is more skillful, athletic and fast paced then netball

Sure, i play basketball too, but you can't say netball takes 'no' skill because you can't do the same things - in any game that makes it to that kind of level of competition, there has to be enough potential for skill to distinguish the better players from the casual players. It's just a different kind of skill fitted around the different rules.

As for the short skirts...
My pe teacher was talking about the options for the different sports you could chose to do in the lessons. When people were joking about aerobics he told us all about how he used to do it at high school - ie) to stand at the back of a room full of flexible girls in lycra with a smile on his face! Of course, we all have our own opinions of pe teachers...

nope i play basketball the one that's actually athletic, fast paced and needs high amounts of skill. anyone can easily chuck a ball around a small area then shoot in a basket. least in basketball you can actually run with the ball and go up to block shots.
