Hey Everyone,

Seeing as there have been several threads in Singles about "courting" over the years -- it seems we're long overdue for a talk about the OTHER KIND of courting!!

What KIND of courting? Why, any game or sport that requires a court, of course!

1786030943811.png


From Basketball to Badminton, there seems to be no end to the number of games that have their own unique style of courting!

And so...

1. What kind of courting games do YOU enjoy?
Since the number of sports played on courts is limited, I'm expanding the choices to any sport that often uses specific, designated places such as as a pool, arena, ring, course, skate park, etc.

Feel free to pick any sport/game you enjoy, even if it's not listed here.

(Personally, I'm curious to find out which members of the forum pick boxing -- and not just watching, but actually participating!) 😐

3. What type of surface do you prefer your courts/playing fields/areas to be, and why?


For example, my preferred mode of exercise is walking, but I prefer walking on pavement or indoor tracks to grass, sand, etc. I like a more even surface, so I don't have to worry about some unseen lump throwing me off balance.

4. And most important, WHO would you like to invite to go courting WITH YOU?? 😎 (Who do you usually take along to play these sports with, or who would you LIKE to take?) It can be anyone from your real life, or anyone here on the forum!

I know it's not technically a court, but since we're counting all sports, I personally think it would be awesome to ask @CarriePie to coach me at the gym! 😁🏋🏼‍♂️💪🏼 I'm sure she could whip me right into shape, and maybe after years of hard work, I could become a Chieftess-ette In Training!😀


Now, I supposed we could also talk about the OTHER kind of courting:

But maybe we'll save that for another thread!! 🤪(It sure would be interested to see who everyone would want to invite to THIS kind of courting, and for what reasons...) 😲😂


In the meantime, I'm looking forward to hearing what YOU have to say about courting (and non-courting) sports-- and who YOU plan to invite!! 😁




 
wow

Well I'm not sure if this has EVER been discussed on CC before. I can only remember one thread that was about playing sports!

It must be miracle that any Christian ever does it.

Well anyway I'm all for 4 square. Or as we call it in kiwi schools 'handball'. Can be played with a tennis ball or basketball/netball. Can be played singles or doubles, but its better with 4 players.

You just need a flat court, asphalt, or concrete if you don't have asphalt.

Bring it on!!

Working out at the gym with @seoulsearch? I'm all for it! Usually I work out outside by myself either with my own equipment or at the state park, but I think this would be smashing! Funnily enough, I think I've been to the gym once lol. I went with a friend from work. She gave me a tour, we worked out, and then we used the massage chairs. It was a lot of fun! I think it'd be great to work out at the gym again! We'd get our unstoppable Chieftess power going full strong!! 💪💪


Also, I see that archery is listed. Admittedly, I was never really the sporty type. I was more of a strength training or going for hikes kind of a gal. Thus, I'm thankful you expanded the list to including other sports. I'll go with archery. It's always good to work on skills for future battles! I haven't done archery in years, but I enjoyed it and would like to get more into it.
Maybe @Charlesiii would join the Chieftess for some archery? <----<< <----<<
I even already have the equipment!

it's no surprise you arrived at this idea! shuffleboard & volleyball i was decent at. in basketball, i could jump unusually high. boxing is 1 of my favorite sports. no one could beat my speed in the jab. i used to cross punch in the chin area & swipe the forehead for a knockout. it works all the time. football, baseball & swimming were other sports in which i was very good at. baseball- pitching, swimming- long distance & fast & football-tackling & throwing. walk on pavement, ride a bike on pavement. my wife & i to walk & ride. however, if we all lived close, all my CC friends! i'll give you my early answer on courts of law. i never had to serve & never will serve. the whole justice system is wrong.
 
I never have been big on sports. I don't care if I'm better than you or you're better than me, and I can't think of any other reason to spend that much energy on such an activity.

I love it when words have more than one (very different) meaning, and I love writing parodies of subjects that have already been talked about repeatedly on the forums, so a (sports) "courting" thread seemed inevitable!

It's awesome to see people writing about their favorite sports and who they would ask to join in!

And most important, WHO would you like to invite to go courting WITH YOU??
An EMT

This comment made me laugh out loud!!

I'm right there with @dkontner because I'm definitely not a sports player.

This discussion is meant to also include sports people might enjoy watching, but not necessarily be playing, lol! 😂

Here's a chart of a few additional sporting ideas...

Do any of these tickle YOUR fancy?

I have always been fascinated by Double Dutch and all the amazing tricks they can do:

But seeing as I'm not even coordinated enough for ONE jump rope, there's no way I could ever master two!! 🤪

However I'm more than happy to sit on the sidelines, cheering and acting as a "Bleacher Creature", which was a mascot an artistically gifted student came up with at my Lutheran high school. 😀

I'm liking @CarriePie's idea of a workout already!!!

Would I get in trouble if I told her I had already "worked out" at home -- so that we could automatically skip to going to the gym and using the massage chairs?! 😎😁🤪
