Yes. I'd suggest the summer olympics. Your event will be fencing. Bring a broadsword. Swing it around wildly.

i agree with you...netball should be an olympic sport.

If you are good enough, (and can afford it) you should consider playing in another country over your summer. Travel to NZ/Aust etc and play some club rugby. You'll likely get to learn far more that way.\n\nCheers :)

don't use your toes to kick the ball with, but use the top of your foot (the shoelaces) for power, or the side for accuracy.\n\npractice dribbling around things, is a good idea...but don't waste all your time running as you could be an olympic athlete but if you can't control or kick the ball your not going to make the team.\n\nAlso please note that as this is your first time, i doubt that your actually trying out for a high-caliber team, therefore fitness is not essential. A player who can pass the ball, and is smart, is much more effective than a headless chicken running around the field.\n\nDon't worry about learning fancy moves either, like you said its your first time, practice ball control (juggling, dribbling), and passing/shooting against a wall...this should help you improve.

In my opinion, no. If you don't like the sport, you're gonna have the worst time of your life. You should explore other sports and see which one you like. Only pursue the sport you really like because you're gonna have a good time with it.

Ideally, I think you should go to the gym and do sports.  The strength you gain from weight training will improve your sporting performance, especially if you play contact sports.  The big difference between the gym and sports is injuries.  If you use good technique and use gym equipment properly there is very little chance of injury.  Injuries in sport however are unavoidable, and occur frequently.  The chances of needing surgery to correct sports related injuries are also pretty high.\n\nIf your thinking of joining a gym, take a tour around a few before you sign up.  Pick the one that you feel most comfortable in, and pick one that has plenty of cardio machines, weight machines and free weights.  Free weights are particularly important as they provide variety as there are hundreds of different exercises that can be performed with them.\n\nGym Pros\n- Increased strength and fitness.  Regular exercise makes you feel fit and full of energy, it realy does put a spring into your stride.\n- Builds confidence.  After a few months of training your body will begin to change, you will gain muscle and your bodyfat will have reduced.\n- Socialising.  Gyms are a great places to socialise and meet new friends.\n- Low risk.  If you use gym equipment safety, and follow the correct technique there is very little chance of serious injury.  Sports however are high risk and injuries occur frequently.\n\nGym Cons\n-Tough for beginners.  When you first start lifting weights your muscles and tendons hurt like hell, this puts a lot of beginners off.\n- Results are slow at first.  Most beginners think that they will become well developed within 6 months.  In reality it takes years to become heavily developed.\n- Monotomy.  It is easy to get stuck in a rut and become bored if you stick to the same routine for weeks on end.  Once experienced you can design your own routines and change them frequently, but beginners are given fixed routines that soon become monotonous.\n- Commitment.  It is a lot easier to miss a gym session than it is to miss a pre-arranged sports session.  Sports are played with other people and as such they are relying on you to turn up.  Gym  essions however are often done alone or with a friend, this requires more discipline.\n\n\n\nSport Cons:

Depending upon on your age, train hard so that you can get into a university with a great gymnastics program. Until then, see if you can train with a junior Olympics team or a junior National team. Look around your area for esteemed schools that have produced olympic hopefuls.

Basketball would be the best. Soccer is more famous but if your looking for the sport with all the satisfaction and coolness then basketball is it. The fact that your good at it only improves it. Basketball needs way more physical fitness and mental attitude and if your a basketball player you'll gain an air and an attitude unlike in soccer. So take my word as I play it myself and go to basketball.

Any sport really..........I usually for me prefer swimming or bike riding. For you it is really just your choice, pick any sport you like to do. If it is hot going swimming, if it is cold go blah, blah, blah. Just forget it. Take my advice from the first and second sentences. GOOD LUCK!

play on the beach...train on the beach alot. If you can move fast on the beach in the sand...you can definatly move faster and easier on the gym floor. Also try playing one on one on a full court, the more ground you get use to covering the better off you'll be.(But be careful to become a ball hog)

Play everything, because high school and Jr. High are fun like that.  I ended up playing running back and free saftey but on JV and C team I played D-line, tightend, reciever, QB get a feel for it all that way if you want/have to play a different position at the college level it's not that brand new to you. I was a lil guy in Jr high and high school 5'7 155 after I got to college I grew but do it all man. Don't limit yourself to just one sport do swimming, tennis, hoops all that skill pays off in the long run, And youre 12 what else do you have to do.

Heck Yes! You should start a rebelion or a revolution or something! Like when kids hate their parents, they go goth. And thats true, snowboarding is right?  That would probably make more people watch the olympics!
