[OPEN] we like sportz

Who: Open to everyone! Learning some sports, making some friends?
Where: Gymnasium
When: Grasshopper 20-22 (or the rest of grasshopper if you like!)
What: Getting people to play some sports, whether as beginners or finding people more on their level! Also can come in here for your personal sports games if you like?
Warnings: sportz. flying balls. (no)

As per Tidus's proposal on the netwrok on the 19th, the gymnasium has been set up around the next few days (or more!) around lunchtime--whenever those busy cooks in the kitchen deem it to be lunchtime--to hold a few ball games for all. It doesn't matter when a person comes in or their skill level, or even what they want to play. While there's a few set games, anyone is free to take the time to show off a sports game they're good at!

The set games are:
  • Soccer: A team sport played with a spherical ball between two teams of 11 players. The game is played on a rectangular field called a pitch with a goal at each end. Numbers make this one tricky to play with a full two teams, but two or four players are possible.

  • Volleyball: A game for two teams, usually of six players, in which a large ball is hit by hand over a high net, the aim being to score points by making the ball reach the ground on the opponent's side of the court.

  • Badminton: A racquet sport played using racquets to hit a shuttlecock across a net. Although it may be played with larger teams, the most common forms of the game are "singles" and "doubles".

For those looking for a more easy-paced game, badminton or even table tennis may be recommended; the former easier to go with if you treat it like my secondary school P.E. classes and launch the shuttlecock into the air; the latter found at the table of the gym with its own fold out tables for games!

Jugs and beakers have been brought in from the kitchen with water for anyone who gets parched, set in a corner where....hopefully no stray balls (or other) will find themselves being flung into. While Tidus has put this together and can be chatted to, he's letting anyone who knows more about the games to lead things as they like!

( ooc: this is just a chill 'come play sportz' thing that you can play at your leisure! also feel free to pick a sports game that isn't listed, BYOS (Bring Your Own Sports), w/e w/e. )

Yeah, so? Why wouldn't you want to spike the ball every time?

Because the set up won't always happen to be able to do it everytime.

[It would certainly be something if people could.]

Are you sure?

I have played volleyball for a long time, so I am confident in that.

Well, I guess if you say so...

I will add though you would make a great hitter at least.

[ Beams!!! ]

That's because I always give 110%!

[personal profile] loveandduty 2020-08-20 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
That's even better than 100%.

Exactly! I'm so awesome, I defy mathematics!

Wait...how can one defy mathematics?

By being absolutely amazing!

Not...quite sure how being amazing can do that. I mean if that was the case, I'd broken it long ago.

[personal profile] sos_pilot 2020-08-23 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? You dare to think you could be more amazing than me?

[ Mostly said jokingly. Mostly. ]

I think I could or we are equally amazing.
