What winter sport should I play, I have some options.
Question Posted Wednesday October 31 2018, 10:38 pm
I have been playing hockey since 1st grade. Now I’m a freshman in high school. I want to to play school hockey this year, because I love to play hockey but I don’t know if I can. Even though I’ve been playing for a while, I’m not nearly as good as most kids in my grade. And all of the kids in my grade that would be in my hockey team are mean, popular kids. I’m on varsity soccer, and want to play baseball this spring so I have enough requirements, i just don’t know if I should play hockey or not.

I can picture myself in your situation with the mean popular kids, i was not that at all in HS. So if it were me, I tried to avoid all possible situations that could turn ugly and make me regret joining. Its easier for me to leave than getting 5 or 6 mean nasty people kicked off the team.
I looked on line to get an idea of what winter sports are offered generally in High schools. It seems to depend on the school. Some didn't have hockey or any ice, snow or cold weather related sports, just winter session basketball and such.
Since Hockey is done on skates, if doing ice skating and learning all the moves that competitors need to know is a possibility. There is no team involved, just individuals doing their own thing unless at some future point you get a partner to do couple ice skating stuff with. Other than that, I saw a couple HS's offer Skiing, snow boarding and cross country skiing. Most likely those schools are in an area that gets lots of snow. This is all I can think of to tell you. For something not related to snow and ice, a team sport with having to get an object in the goal, there is soccer. I played that coed as a young adult and then a womens team for a while, before I had kids. You don't have to be brutal and agressive as hockey players, just very talents with your feet and good at running and dodging. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
