[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:
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. )

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".

He turns, his mouth hanging open.]
That was so cool mister Tidus! You moved so quickly!
[Tidus must be so good at games!]
no subject
Tidus scoffs some, a sort of 'nah', but a chuckle following it. ]
And your bounce is too good! Next time aim it away from you, yeah? Don't want you to bonk yourself on the head!
[ And since he's over here, he's going to submit that that tiny urge he has, and ruffle Romeo's hair. ]
You need that to keep playing!
no subject
[Though actually...] I wonder if there are any ball games where you bounce the ball on your head... That would be fun!
no subject
no subject
His mouth has dropped open again.] Wow! That sounds so fun! Can you do that?
[He would think so! After how he had just caught the ball then!]
no subject
Pretty sure I can do the same with this! --across the gym, anyway.
no subject
Can you show me?

Scanning the gymnasium and the safety of his next move, Tidus walks closer to the end of the gym, eyeing the hanged netting and the likelihood of hitting any. He feels the weight of the ball in his hand, giving it a few bounces, and then applying more height the next few times.
He's confident though despite the testing, the build up; knows this isn't a blitzball and so he shouldn't get too cocky, but he's done this a few times before. Tidus extends out his arm, throws it once, catches it in both hands. Looks over at Romeo, grins in his direction.
And then he turns, the ball getting thrown into the air again, and following it--is Tidus, jumping with a flip, a kick of his leg, and it connects with the volleyball, sending it shooting off with disregard for all the nets and the rest. In seconds it hits the far end wall, bouncing off, and continues to bop in arches along the floor until it finds a spot to stay.
Tidus in that time has found his feet again, landing with a crouch but still standing; spinning around to face the result, and after that, throwing his arms behind his head in a giddy type of pride. Yeep, he did that!! ]
no subject
He gives him a huge grin when he looks over at him, confident that Tidus can do this! And there! The ball gets thrown, Tidus jumps high in the air and kicks the ball, sending it flying to the other side of the gym bouncing off and across the floor. Tidus lands without a bump and Romeo claps his hands, excited.]
That was so cool, mister Tidus! You are so good at kicking!!
[He is practically bouncing with enthusiasm.]
no subject
It's all with practice! Anyone can do it if they want! How about you? You wanna learn?

no subject
I'll see 'bout getting a blitzball, maybe a book- but for now, I'll show you our warm-ups and what we do to get in shape!
[ The fun stuff, anyway! ]
no subject
[He grinned, he was very excited, this was going to be so much fun!]
