Sports Answers

Spring! asked:


I’m going to be a sophomore this year. I’ve never really played sports before and am not very good at most of them. The only sport I’ve done was track in middle school. I was one of the slowest on the team, but I did improve and enjoyed it.

So, is it too late for me to start this a sport year? I’m interested in tennis and field hockey. Will there be other inexperienced people on the team? How do I go about starting one of these sports? And which one do you think I should do?

Me! asked:


Ok, so I am not that really into sports but I want to start playing one for college and to get active. My friend used to fence and she gave me the number and I really wanted to do it since it didn’t involve tons of running. My mom called and got the information and I was going to sign up when school started since we have a lot of plans this summer. However, I recently watched the French Open and got really into tennis and I went outside and played with the racket and stuff and I was actually alright at it (I was shocked lol). So now I really want to do tennis instead of fencing but my mom will get mad that I changed my mind so fast. Should I do both? And also I dont really like wearing skirts so can I play tennis in shorts or something or is the skirt required?
Sorry I meant to put racquet.

Could anybody please suggest a website where I can find out how scoring works in different sports? For example, in soccer you score goals, in football touchdowns, in tennis sets. Any idea what word combination should I enter to search for this info?? Thank you for your kind help.

Would having a shortened leg be an advantage in tennis, for a stronger serve? Volley ball? Golf? Any other sports?

I’m wondering if the fashionable ones are just as effective as the sports ones when playing (ie. tennis, squash, basketball)

I know that men and women compete against each other in some of the equestrian events, like dressage and show jumping. I think men and women also compete against each other in Badminton mixed teams. According to the nbcolympics.com website there are 3 sports, but I only found 2. I think they used to have mixed doubles in tennis, but no more. What else?
