Growing up I played football a lot with my two brothers and our friends. There's fields just 2 minutes walk away, every weekend (or day heh) we would go down there and have a kick about. Headers and Volleys we played a lot. Our dad use to come down and join us sometimes. Ah yes some great memories.
In primary school we played Rounders a lot. I loved Rounders, once we even stopped in the middle of a class just to go out and play it because the weather was nice outside. Crosscountry, anyone ever do that? I think in PE we were asked to run across the playing field and run back. I was one of the fastest and was made to join up. It wasn't fun and my first time running through fields I got really worn out.
In High School swimming was okay but we had this tiny pool. I was a fast swimmer but I tended to just mess around and watch the girls in their swimsuits than actually get better at swimming.
Whos idea was it to play Rugby and Football in the winter? God I hate playing in the freezing cold. The ground all hard and frozen, I wished I was inside playing basketball or something. I was quite good at rugby, gradually got better as I got bigger and strong. Football, I was okayish, one memorable moment was a corner kick that slammed right into my knee and went into the goal. Unfortunately it was our goal >_< lol
In High School I think we played Rounders once. It sucked going from playing the sport so much to not at all. I would have even enjoyed Baseball if it was an option. Apart from Basketball there werent any other US sports. I doubt our school could have afforded the equipment for American Football anyway.
Sports Day. Hmm I dont think anyone looked forward to this. I wasn't really fit back then but I was fast so I was forced to take part in several events. I never won any and came last most of the time. They were all much fitter than me. The only thing I got out of sports day was seeing the girls in bras :) Either doing their stretching or getting changed in the classroom heh.
I'd say I'm quite a sporty person, but just not at the moment, I really enjoy rockclimbing, would love to do more of that. They should have got us to do that in school. There's just something about it to get your heart pumping. Much more enjoyable than trying to climb a rope, god knows why but I always need to go to the bathroom whenever I climb it.

I only did a couple of sports day when I was at school and I only did one event (1500m) because I knew that you could do that event and not go back to lessons. Then in my final years at school, sports day wasn't a compulsory thing so I didn't bother.
Didn't really enjoy sport at school. I wasn't with the 'in crowd' and I was smarter than my friends so I ended up in the higher groups. It meant I usually had to stay out of the way as the 'in crowd' took control.
I usually played football away from school and I'm trying to get back into some kind of fitness after all my health problems. Played in goal for a bit just to get back playing and then moved back to my favoured position of striker. Found a bit of form recently. 18 goals in 3 games.
I play a bit of darts. Had a few 180's and got a small tournament organised for the 21st this month. I also play a bit of golf, pretty average at that. I play pool and snooker but I'm not really any good.
Other than that, I try to give most sports a go. Well, I used to.

I'm quite good at pool can usually finish up with 3-4 turns in an attacking match bowling wise I usually get about 130ish.
I'll just throw in that I'm the Pool and Ten Pin Bowling Champion. If we ever have a Freeola Meet-Up. Be warned, I never lose :)
*Throws down the gauntlet*
Don't really play a lot of sports the ones I do play now and then are all non physical ones - snooker, darts and pool.
I enjoy playing football, cricket etc but me and my mates never seem to have the time.

I loved sports day, me and my friend were the 3 legged race kings winning 5 years in a row and going against the teachers advice that you should find a partner your own size considering i was around about 5 foot then and he was about 4 foot 1.
Then in high school my tutor group would easily win the basketball thanks to me :-D and we also won the soccer tournament 3 out of 4 years
