Cool Sports You've Played

Full contact no holds barred 500.

This game is sometimes played with a baseball but it's more fun and a lot safer with a football or frisbee. One person is the thrower and 2 - 10 people compete to catch the object.

100 points are scored for catching the object on the fly. 100 points are subtracted for dropping the object.
50 points are scored to the first person to pick it up off the ground if no one catches it on the fly.

First player to 500 wins and becomes the new thrower.

As the name implies tripping, shoving, tackling are all permitted.

The game is a blast and a great workout.

Ultimate Frisbee is a fun game. Great exercise too. When I was in junior high we used to play this game called 'Matt Ball'. Basically it was kickball but played in the gym, and instead of 3 bases there were 4, one in each corner of the gym. The game plays exactly like kickball except once you get on the matt you cannot get off unless you make it to the next base. So if you take off running and want to go back to the matt you were just at you're SOL. And the defense has to get 10 outs. Great game. Lots of fun.

Although it may seem very uncool I got to try curling last year. I never would have imagined that tossing a fifty pound piece of granite and swiping a broom in front of it would be so much fun but it was a complete blast. By the end of the evening we were getting the hang of it and doing quite a bit to control the rock.

I will also throw in a vote for Disc golf. I got a bit burned out on it, but it is pretty fun. Real laid back as well.

Been getting into Racquetball quite a bit as well. Excellent workout and can be a lot of fun.
