Ten Favorite Sports to Play or Watch

June 30th, 2008 . by Joyce

The prompt this week for Ten on Tuesday
is Ten Favorite Sports to Play or Watch.

I’ll start first with favorite sports to watch:

  • Our family enjoys cheering on our minor league basketball team, The Bellingham Slam. They are currently the Western Conference champs!
  • We enjoy going to our local high school basketball games. Both our boys’ and girls’ teams are fun to watch.
  • High school track meets are right on. One daughter wants to learn to pole vault. I can’t wait to see that. The other daughter likes to sprint and run in relays.
  • What about high school soccer? Two of our daughters are on the high school team, so those games are a must-see.
  • Our son in middle school is going to be our first child to play football, so I guess I’ll have to learn to like that sport, after having avoided it like the plague.
  • Some of the children have done figure and free style roller skating in prior years. That is one of my favorite things to watch.

Favorite sports in which to participate:

  • Volleyball
  • Basketball (in the day). Now I’ll shoot baskets with the kids occasionally.
  • Table tennis
  • Does hiking count as a sport? Backpacking was a favored activity, again, in the carefree days of youth.

    Sports are the same worldwide, the age of kids seems to make the difference … hope your son plays real football (rugby league) … sounds like you and your family have lots of fun … thank you for visiting ;)

    Track was fun for me to participate in - back in 7th grade. I was really good at it, too. But I got lazy over the last 25 years. Now, I watch my kids and others.

    Backpacking is definitely a sport. I pole vaulted in high school and was the best on my track team, though I wasn’t very good. Only cleared ten feet, but we had a great time at practice jumping in the pits.

    I used to love to play table tennis & volleyball … even Slo-pitch softball when I was younger … but these days I’m content to watch. I’ve been too busy to play Ten on Tuesday these past few weeks, but I’m glad YOU still play ;–)
    Thanks for celebrating the arrival of my new computer with me. I sure love it already, but there’s lots to be done to transfer over to the new system.
    Hugs and blessings,
