Cool Sports You\'ve Played
 

So I've been looking for some cool new sports/activities to play, outside of the "standard" sports.

Last night I played underwater hockey ( Primer ) and it was very interesting. Basically hockey underwater, using much smaller sticks and flippers, masks, etc.

Anyone have any sports/activities they've done that people may not have heard of?

I haven't read the rules, but that seems like a terrible game.

Maybe you'll get a bunch of responses along the lines of "CALVINBALL!!!" I say just play ultimate, it's weird enough.

my favorite college sport was Broomball. It's hockey, except you play with sneakers instead of skates, a small ball instead of a puck, and a field hockey esque stick instead of a regular hocket stick. (you play in a regular hockey rink)

my senior year Broomball team was probably the best team I have ever played on, we had like 25 goals and allowed only 2, winning the league championship over the team filled with ex (some division I) hockey players.

Playing with an underwater stick suits you well IMSA imo.

don't know if it's what you're looking for but my favorite leisure sport is cornhole.

It is very hard to get used to. I definitely felt outclassed, a bunch of the players had been there for years.

By the end, I was definitely getting used to it. Note the pool was 12 feet deep and it was like 5v5, so most times there were only 2 players down per side.

I've heard it called something different ("bags"), but yes it is awesome.

It is especially fun when you are drunk. You play worse, but you yell a lot more.

Ultimate Frisbee can actually be really fun with the right crowd.
