My favorite sport to play and watch is volleyball. I started playin volleyball in the 7th grade, and I've played it ever since, although I haven't gotten the chance lately now that I have a family=) I really like watching it, but I find it even more exciting to play it. My 6th grade teacher actually got me started in volleyball, and she asked me to play with her the following year, and that's what I did. Bless her heart, I was horrible and she had to give me a ride home everyday. But I began to get better as I practiced, but unfortunately that was after the season was over, and I moved to a new school the following year. My daughter has started playing, and she's going to try out in August, when she gets in high school. Hopefully she'll make it. Ugh, I'm going to hate having to go pick her up everyday, her high school is going to be far away, plus I've got to pick her up at away games.Well, I guess I've gotta start letting her get out and try new stuff. After all, I saw this coming all along, she already told me she wanted to tryout and while back ago. =/

I like to watch so many different sports. Basically I enjoy to watch almost all the matches from the Olympic Games. I like to play the badminton because it is something I am good at. It is also one of the most popular sports here. I love China

Congrats on your daughters interest in playing sports and that you are able to help her achieve this goal to play..I don't have a car or extra money to sign my son up in any sport, so he is stuck here at home playing on the computer, drawing or our favorite sport to play at home, Badminton... As for watching, I love to watch soccer and wish I can get my son to play, but like I said, no money or car..

I like all different sports, and also like going to arenas to watch sports. My favorite sport to watch would be Football then baseketball and baseball. I know those three sports are the most common out there, but to me they consist of having a fun time with friends and family. I do get into College football and basketball when the Miami heat play. I am a fan of watching the teams i like. You can really get into and even yell at the screen every now and then. You always want your team to win your voting for. It is a lot of fun to go and watch these sports live as you get so intense with the game and are so into the game and your having a blast. I do not play any sports as i grew up being a cheerleader and a dancer.

..Hi there ShadowofHope, Great name. I love watching tennis, when I was in high school, many moons ago I played a lot and even tried out for the tennis team. Now a days I like to watch the various tennis tournaments, the French Open in Paris is under way now, all of the Americans are gone even Roger Federer was beaten by a great playing Swede named Soderling who may win the entire thing. So my favorite game to watch is tennis. Can't play anything now due to my back, but I am mentally involved whenever I can find people playing tennis. I like to watch volley ball games as well. Like mother like daughter. "o) Take care.

I am a saber fencer and it's definitely my favorite sport to practice. I've always been fascinated with weapons and half an year ago, I finally found the drive to take up fencing. It wasn't an easy decision, as I have a rigorous course load at school, I volunteer at the local hospital during the weekend and I have FCE in 3 weeks and term tests. I haven't much free time, but I find the needed to fence 3 times/week and I've loved it so far! I believe I'm actually going to stick to this sport... unlike volleyball, sports gymnastic and (not really a sport) - the school choir. My preferred sport to watch is football - I find it exciting and it's awesome to cheer with for your favourite team with a few friends, but I don't think I could ever practice it seriously since I'm a girl and I'm quite bad at it,too.

My favorite sport to play is basketball. During my childhood I always play basketball with my friends and neighbors. We spend a lot of time to play. During my highschool years, I play basketball with my classmates. Even in very hot time, 12:00 nn.
