Another Rifle Team dude here...Varsity in High School and the NC State Rifle Team was trying to recruit me but it was exactly at a time when I'd broken an ear drum diving off the 5 and 10 meter boards ( which I did not do competitively) Pretty soon the eardrum abscessed and not much of anything got done for months. Once healed it was off to a school with a higher girl/boy ratio and the sport became indoor fly fishing....

baseball/softball and pickup football games, but not in highschool, wasn't going to have a coach tell i couldn't dip Copenhagen or drink beer. in junior high they were always trying to get to join the track team because i could beat a lot of the guys on the team, when i would run with them in PE. could run a mile in under 5 minutes in 9th grade.

Organized::
Little league baseball - sucked at that...I was the kid sitting in right field with his glove on his head, picking dandelion flowers...kept playing, but didn't improve. Went an entire season of at-bats without contacting the ball or getting on base.
Soccer - sucked at that, no running endurance or skill
Golf - sucked at that, but somehow still made the HS team. Coach felt sorry for me and gave me my varsity letter
See a trend here?
Informal:
Street hockey - playground stuff.
Skiing - nothing organized, just a couple times a year at a local hill
Hunting and fishing were my sports.

Work. I am a pretty big guy and was pretty fast for my size. I played football in Junior High and freshman year till My Dad gave me a car with 196k miles on it. He said "That's your baby. U put gas in it. Insure it and pay for the parts. I'll help u fix it but your buying the parts." That ended my sports career cause I liked having wheels WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more than football. They were kinda mad when I quit and hounded me in my sophomore and junior year (football coach was my math and gym teacher both years). I just kept telling him I can walk and play football or ride in style in my Sunbird. Also didn't help they wanted me to play O-line and I wanted to be a linebacker. Loved defense much more and to me O-line was boring as hell.

Soccer for a few year (fat kids don't do so well in that)
Baseball for a long time (I had an awful batting average, but if I connected, it would go a long long way. I also pitched, but never mastered the art of not putting everything I had into the pitches...I'd go 2-3 innings MAX)
Football (OT/DT)
Track & Field (shot put/discus as well as the occasional "Fat Man's Relay, which ironically, we won once at a meet when 3 out of 4 teams faulted).
If I had to do it all over again, I would, but I'd stick with football. The only reason I stopped 1/2 through HS was because I couldn't stand the coach. I had knee surgery, and he kept me on JV, after telling me I was going varsity for almost a year. I was young and stupid, and should've just gone with it. I chose to hunt and work instead.
I'd rather have a bad day hunting than a good day working!

Football, basketball, etc are games, not sports. My sports were running, wrestling and archery.

I played football in Pop Warner youth league three years and three years varsity football in high school. I was red shirted in college for one year and never got to play.
I ran track too.
I did a little gymnastics but I could never get the palms of my hands top stop blistering.

Our high school had a rodeo team, and I was on that as well.
