Are there not any youth organized sports in Chicago? Real organized sports such as baseball or football?

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

We are moving to Chicago from San Diego and have 3 boys. We have to live close to the city due to work but cant seem to find any youth sport teams. Can someone point me in the right direction?

The Hi-Five Sports Club is an experienced, established, child-centered organization, which offers exciting sports programs and entertainment for children.

What are good ideas for losing a sports bet?

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

I am going to do a bet with a couple of guys for March Madness. We need some ideas for the loser to do as punishment. Last year I lost and had to wear a princess costume and cut my hair into a skullet. We are looking to do something equally as embarrassing this year. Oh by the way, we’re college students if that helps.

Wear speedos and cut hair into a reverse mohawk. maybe dye the bozo sides orange or something.

When I do the Wii fitness age the sports do not change?

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

I have a Wii and when I do the Wii fitness age my sports don’t change. They are Baseball- Hitting home runs, tennis- Hitting 50 balls and bowling- picking up spares. They never change no matter how good my fitness age is. I even got it down to 22.
My sister however has loads of different sports e.g golf, boxing etc and hasn’t done anything different to me.
How can I get different sports?

You need to go into the training bit (button with the weight on next to the wii fitness button) and unlock the different training tools- there are 3 for each sport.

You only need to do each training thing once and then it unlocks it and it will be one of the ones randomly selected for your wii fitness tests.

Do they ever show any Dallas Cowboys coverage on Sports Center?

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

no not really it seems they only show highlights when they lose. you can watch highlights on nfl network

Should team sports be a part of the olympics?

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

My opinion is that team sports are not suitable because the Olympic ideal is about the pursuit of individual excellence. In a team, weaker players still win gold because they are carried by a true champion.

All doubles, synchronised diving, team events etc should go in my view. Lets keep it track and field – The fastest and strongest men and women on Earth.

Anyone agree?

sorry I like a lot of the team events

How likely is it to get in-state tuition for sports at Indiana University?

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

I currently live in Illinois, and am planning on attending Indiana University and doing diving there. However, I am worried that tuition will be ridiculous without in-state tuition (23,000). How likely will I get in-state tuition for participating in sports?

Playing sports has nothing to do with in-state tuition. State schools receive most of their funding from the tax payers of the state. Out of state students are not paying to fund the school,and thus have to pay more. If cost is an issue, look at the state schools in Illinois,

Why do you only get 10 semesters or 5 years to play college sports?

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

I have never played college sports but wanted to know the possibilities of playing while going to Graduate school. While searching online I saw where you had 10 semesters to play 4 semesters, Why is that?

In college sports, some athletes redshirt, meaning they spend a year as a practice player who then play 4 years (total of 5 years in school).

What sports does the average american play ?

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

It’s just that your sports all seem to be very elitist to play football you need to be at least over six ft tall as with basketball, here in england anyone can play almost any of our national sports even rugby (certain positions) do you play much soccer as you call it.

I suspect that if you went by the number of participants for all ages, it would probably be basketball. Softball (like baseball except with a larger ball and underhand pitching) would probably be second. Soccer is popular amongst kids, but is not (yet) played much by adults.

And you don’t need to be six feet plus to play basketball — that’s only for professionals, and not even all of them (specifically the guards) are that tall. I played basketball in high school and college (house league) — all 5′11” of me. And I played forward.
