Does your country have "designated girl sports"? Ours has softball and volleyball. Soccer used to be a girls' sport here, but now boys play it too.

high schools are adding boys volleyball

this is weird as fuck, why not just play hockey

>>149449039
if this was true, wouldn't the women's league be a lot more popular than the men's?

>>149449039
Soccer is for very young boys and everyone quits it in favor of the big 3. Soccer is a girl’s sport at every other age level, especially the university level.

American sports lack skills to the point that an adolescent can pick them up from scratch and be a paid professional at them, meanwhile if a kid just started football past the age of 10, there is very little chance they could become a professional footballer, as their peers have been playing it since they were 4 or 5 years old.

Volleyball for sure

It makes sense that is it, it's fun and involves a ball, there are a lot of players in the team so you can join the club and play together with your friends, and it's non-contact unlike football, basketball, handball

>>149449726
soccer takes 0 skill
especially compared to baseball or hockey
utterly bizzare post

>>149449726
Hockey requires a lot of specialization. So does Baseball

Hockey

Field hockey

>>149449726
You misunderstood. You play soccer here at ages 3-6 and then you swap over. Even I played soccer at 3, it’s just for developing coordination and then you move over to football or baseball or hockey or basketball if you’re a jiggaboo.

>>149449840
>>149449861
>baseball
Swinging a bat and catching a ball, it’s all hand eye coordination, very little stamina required aside from short sprints between bases.
>hockey
Requires more skill and stamina than baseball, but not as much as football, the ice assists in movement

American kids start playing Handegg at the ages of 6? Isn’t that too dangerous(even professional Handegg is dangerous).

>>149449726
Almost every professional athlete started their respected sport at around 5 retard

>>149449619
hockey is for men and europeans

>>149450314
See >>149450064
How can a child start Handegg without seriously injuring themselves?

>>149450461
Flag football

>>149450461
By playing against children

>>149450513
That’s not the same sport. The football that children and adults play is the exact same with the same rules.

Children can still give each other concussions and broken bones.

What do you think would happen if two children knocked heads after running into each other?

Rounders aka Not-Baseball, and Netball aka Not-Basketball
Pic related is a rounders bat

>>149450582
I'd have a laff

>>149450620
Rounders is alright, netball is atrocious.

>>149450647
Playing rounders always made me wonder what baseball is like since we don't have it here, netball made me wonder why the hell we weren't just playing basketball

It’s got to be frustrating to limit yourself to just a one armed swing

That’s straight up child abuse. Handegg is such a stupid fucking sport, not only is it boring to watch, but it slowly kills its players.

>>149448754 (OP)
Yeah girls here play Hockey and Tennis. Handball was popular but all the handball girls (lesbians) are playing football now.

>>149450811
Any sport is dangerous especially when the coaches are bad at training proper technique. Regardless the original point was football players start just as early as soccer players do whenever you’re done being a nanny.

>>149448754 (OP)
netball and field hockey tend to be the girl's sports of choice in school.

>>149450896
>Any sport is dangerous especially when the coaches are bad at training proper technique.
There is no technique that would protect you from losing neurons due to repeated concussions. And head traumas are worse than broken ankles or shins, since the latter are usually recoverable while the former aren’t, in fact the former keeps deteriorating even if you stop playing Handegg.

>Soccer used to be a girls' sport here, but now boys play it too.
Boys have always played soccer, but it's still a girls sport, as the best male athletes always focus on the big 3 team sports, gridiron football, baseball, and basketball.

Soccer is a team sport for males that are too small and cowardly for football, too short for basketball, and too uncoordinated to hit a 90 mph fastball.
