Title: I need a new sport~
Post by: Fyrefly on March 09, 2010, 10:32:11 pm: So, after 7 years of basketball, I ended on a high note this evening.

Our team lost, but I got an aggressive opponent fouled off and I scored the very last goal of the match in the last few seconds (yay me!), so I felt good.

I'm too old for my division now (under 21s - I'll turn 21 during the next season, making me ineligible). I could always move up and find a women's team to join, but the local clubs don't involve themselves in the women's division - I would have to somehow approach each team individually until I found one that would accept me. Besides, my knee has been giving out more often than it should for someone who's only 20.

So... I need a new sport.
I prefer social sports that are high intensity, but I think I need something that's low impact on my knees (running is fine, it's jumping that's proven problematic).

Any suggestions~~?? :)

Otherwise, I would suggest some sort of martial arts

I would've said soccer, but if you played B-ball for 7 years, you might hate using your feet and not being able to use your hands :P
