Team sports(however you call it)

Anyone here plays in any team? As in basketball team. etc. I used to... but not much anymore. I don't really coordinate well, in a badminton doubles alone I can't, so you can imagine how terrible it is in other sports.

Why do you think I enjoy badminton so much?

Wow... interesting sports.

I'm juz doing badminton now... besides running and swimming and cycling... but those are just once in a while.

I was in my school athletics (400m, High Jump, Shot Putt) and chess teams.
I was in my university chess team.
A variety of other chess teams over the years (got a draw against a Grandmaster in a simultaneous)
Tennis team of the company I work for.

Nowadays, just badminton as part of a team (MD, XD)
running cycling and squash now and then either for fitness training or fun

Hmm... whatever team sports? As in basketball etc.? If you're so sctive in these kind of sports I'm sure you must be in somekinf of team sport.... right??

Ah, I think I misunderstood the question.
I was "in a team", but in general, the sports involved were made up of several individuals working separately for an overall result (e.g. 6 people playing singles), rather than a team playing in 1 game (e.g. 5 people playing basketball).

(I forgot the ten-pin bowling teams I was in, but again that's individuals working separately)

Just the tennis doubles and badminton doubles then.
(there was some football(soccer), rugby and cricket at school but we didn't get a choice about that)

I prefer singles though. Not because of co-ordination though.
If I am on the losing side at doubles, I hate the feeling of having let my partner down. When a pair play well together though, I find a doubles win is more enjoyable than a singles win.

Oh.. okay. I've never enjoyed doubles... think I play much better in a singles game.

How come you are so fluent in English?

**andrew_cherry** · 05-07-2003, 07:52 AM

rowing! M4+ (coxed mens fours)

perhaps not the best complement to badminton, which is still my No.1 sport, because of the development of different muscle groups and emphasis (badminton: fast twitch, rowing: slow) but I still...

i like it, even though i'm not a great team player and would agree that i much prefer singles (and i'm a better singles player than doubles!)

Volleyball.

I started in Grade 7 I guess. Found it to be a neat game, especially if you had a good team. It involves alot of team work and strategy. And most of all, the drills were excellent. I loved to spiked the ball. This year I grew a tad more giving me more reach and my smashes are much steeper than last years. Last year my smashes would have no angle, this year it's going down! Don't know about next year since I still get to play for the junior team haha!

Who's fluent in English?

Ah, volleyball. Very enjoyable game... I remember I used to have the hardest serve... when girls played against boys during PE, the girls used me to serve all the time... then the boys complained it was unfair...

But stopped all the games I used to play because I'm concetrating on badminton...

Rowing... never tried.

**wildstyler** · 05-07-2003, 12:48 PM

I'm in Volleyball, Basketball, Badminton, and Track and Field. Another sport I used to do was Swimming, I used to train in HK for swimming, but stopped now. I was thinking of starting again the coming school year to join the team.
